Lawmummy's right. That area is Wissahickon, not Manayunk. And I'm never sure about that whole thing about Rox. Ave being a boundary, which means the line goes up to Ridge. Manayunk Ave. or even Silverwood have been named many times as the dividing lines and it seems to me that anything farther up the hill really has more connection to Rox than to Manayunk and the whole main street scene. I think realtors are REALLY stretching the perceived boundaries. A while back I met someone who'd bought a home between Ridge and Henry near Gorgas Park and was firmly convinced he was moving to Manayunk. His home had been listed as being in Manayunk and he didn't know enough about this area to realize It was clearly in Roxborough.
