Hm. In terms of actually living in these neighborhoods, Old City has an older crowd, but nightlife wise, they're both pretty young. I'd also be mindful of places in the heart of Market St or JFK west...after 6 pm the business area of Center City is pretty dead.

WSW and Queen Village are great neighborhoods. Both are in the thick of city living with enough greenery and quiet blocks that you don't feel overwhelmed. Similar vibes based on what you're looking for: East Passyunk (but be mindful that the further east and south you go in this area, the less trees and parks), Graduate Hospital, Fairmount/Art Museum, Bella Vista, Fitler Square, and if you want even more greenery and quiet, you can look at East Falls, Mount Airy, or Chestnut Hill.

There are ALWAYS kids and strollers at Dock Street Brewery on Washington Ave. There's lots of room and the menu is pizza and burgers. Kid staples! Honey's and Sabrina's always a fam-faves. Nam Phuong for Vietnamese is always nice and spacious.
