Neighborhood of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, United States

Cedarbrook Neighborhood of Philadelphia Cedarbrook Country United States State Pennsylvania County Philadelphia City Philadelphia Area codes 215, 267 and 445

**Cedarbrook**[1] is a neighborhood located in the Northwest section of the City of [Philadelphia](/source/Philadelphia), [Pennsylvania](/source/Pennsylvania), United States.

The **Ivy Hill** neighborhood comprises roughly the northwestern half of Cedarbrook. [Ivy Hill Cemetery](/source/Ivy_Hill_Cemetery_(Philadelphia)) (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.
