Just my opinion but I live in deep south Philly near Oregon and west of broad and I recommend it. I believe the patco stations are between 15th and 8th on market so if you are looking over in mantua it wouldn't be much farther to commute from down here. It also has the benefit of being very close to the bridge to get to South Jersey if you have a car. South west isn't as trendy as passyunk but is quiet and family friendly. And everyone has a dog lol. Good luck!
