The '''Ivy Hill''' neighborhood comprises roughly the northwestern half of Cedarbrook. [[Ivy Hill Cemetery (Philadelphia)|Ivy Hill Cemetery]] (established 1867) forms the geographic heart of the neighborhood. (The neighborhood most likely takes its name from the cemetery [rather than vice versa], as the area was woods and farmland when the cemetery was established.) Ivy Hill Road is sometimes mistakenly restyled as "Ivyhill Road"—most notably on its own newest street signs.
