A walk around West Mount Airy reveals a neighborhood of lush landscaping, huge old trees, and fascinating architecture, including Victorian, Greek and Gothic Revival - a stellar example of which is Upsal Gardens Apartments. Set on a terraced site, the brick and stone (Wissahickon schist) walls of Upsal Gardens are covered with ivy and distinguished by bays, turned gables, battlements, half-timbers, corbels, leaded glass and pointed arches. Today, all but a handful of the 146 apartments at Upsal Gardens have different floor plans. Units range from studios to three-bedroom/three-bath apartments that were originally built to accommodate maid's quarters.
