The Heights sits on the Palisades above downtown, which makes the distance look worse on a map than it feels in practice. Buses run frequently down Central and Palisade Avenues, and the light rail from Ninth Street-Congress Street reaches Marin Boulevard in about sixteen minutes.
We are at 115 Christopher Columbus Drive, a couple of minutes from the Grove Street PATH station.
Coming down the hill
- By bus. Frequent local services run down Central Avenue and Palisade Avenue into downtown. For most of the Heights this is the cheapest and simplest option, with no change needed.
- By light rail. Ninth Street-Congress Street to Marin Boulevard takes about sixteen minutes, with trains roughly every ten minutes, then about eleven minutes on foot.
- By car. Down Palisade Avenue or the Pulaski Skyway approach. Parking at the Grove Pointe garage, 100 Christopher Columbus Drive.
If you are using the Congress Street elevator to reach the light rail, that is included in the sixteen minutes above.
What you get at this end
The Heights has good local dentists. This page is not going to pretend it does not. The case for coming down is scope and continuity in one place.
Implants, root canals, crowns, Invisalign and cosmetic work all happen in this office, so a longer course of treatment does not turn into a series of trips to different specialists. And Dr. Singal treats her own patients, so the person who plans the work is the person who does it.
