Now that I live on the 11th floor on the Septa side I never hear anything at all of the trains.

The 3rd floor is level with the tracks, and - yes - there are residential units on that floor that look directly at the tracks - if not from slightly above.
The 2nd floor has (I think) 8 residential units but the side that faces the bridge for the tracks and JFK Blvd is commercial with an architecture firm as the tenant.

The building, like River's Edge at 2301 Cherry St, sits in a flood plain. Your lender will require you to have flood insurance. If you get a lender that doesn't ask you for it now, you'll eventually get "caught" and you will need to get it anyway. Make sure you budget for it.

I believe a spa and a dentist's office. Maybe a coffeeshop.
