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.
I was told by a longtime resident that the cut-off for Wissahickon into Roxborough is at Hermit Lane?
