Beginning its resurgence as one of Philadelphia’s great communities Tacony is a historic gem found in the city’s northeast section. It’s one of the oldest and continually occupied communities in the city, giving it a long historical legacy that is alive and well today.

The underlying constant in Tacony is the Historic Disston Estate that is the historic and architectural center of Tacony. Tacony is well connected to the Philadelphia region and offers every form of transportation for every person.

The most telling sign of Tacony’s revival are the new store fronts along its main commercial corridor. These are completed using a combination of funding from property owners, the Tacony CDC, and the City of Philadelphia’s store front improvement program. This helped stabilize Tacony by keeping several destination businesses in Tacony and attracted new businesses including a cafe and a craft pizza parlor.
