Links to our communityMt. Airy is a unique community of tree-lined streets, close to parks, with a mixture of large homes, row houses and apartment complexes, and public and private schools. Germantown Avenue is the main thoroughfare of the community and the business district. The Germantown/Mt. Airy/Chestnut Hill area, which makes up the Northwest part of Philadelphia, is also an historic area which played pivotal roles during the Colonial period and the Revolutionary War. A spirit of cooperation permeates the neighborhood in the various community organizations, and has contributed, in part, to the area being one of the national models of a successfully integrated neighborhood. People continue to work on solving problems that arise. Community OrganizationsBelow are links to some of the important organizations in Mt. Airy and the city. East Mt. Airy Neighbors and West Mt.
