Like Logan or Nicetown train stations, the surrounding neighborhood is an urban wasteland.Maybe it's a rough spot now, but you've got Temple-driven reinvestment heading north at a rapid clip; it should hit Broad and Lehigh in the next ten years. Fifteen at the very latest, and five is decently likely. That will be focused on student housing at first, but there's plenty of parcels up there with the zoning for big dense development. Since residents are returning to the city faster than the jobs, the reverse-commute from North Broad and North Philly stations will be a strong selling point as soon as the Temple kids put some eyes on the street.
