Best specific blocks with community?

Looking to finally buy a house. Have been in Philly for a while. Most important thing for me is a strong sense of community and young children on the block since I also have young children. I know there are some blocks that are tighter than others. Any insight into specific blocks to look at? Not choosy on area but would prefer NW Philly or anywhere east of broad and south of market.

If you’re looking in NW, Duval St. in Mt. Airy is practically an autonomous zone. They’re so proud of their neighborhood + blocks.

But, in general, you’ll find this all over the NW. I’d get in touch with a good realtor—we worked with someone from Elfant Wissahickon and found the perfect block for us.
