Angora, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Angora, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Angora is a neighborhood in the Southwest section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Although its boundaries are not precise, West Philadelphia is to its north, Kingsessing is to the south, Cedar Park is to the east, and Cobbs Creek is to the west. The Angora Commuter Rail Station on the R3 (SEPTA), two bus lines (routes 46 and "G"), and a trolley line (SEPTA Route 34) all intersect around Baltimore Avenue and 58th Street, which is unofficially the nexus of the neighborhood.

Angora was certified as blighted by the City Planning Commission on May 12, 2005. At the same time, portions of the neighborhood, notably Angora Terrace, are well-kept.
