Thinking about moving here from Seattle. I don't own a car, so walking is my only option. What parts of downtown are safe? Seattle has a big crime issue and I'd like to get away from that preferably.

Center City is generally safe. I'd recommend Rittenhouse Square, Logan Square, Fitler Square, Old City, Washington Square West, and Grad Hospital as the best areas.

What's your budget? Remember that safety is relative and Philly is a bit more block by block compared to other cities. Good neighborhoods to start looking into include Rittenhouse, Fairmount, Graduate Hospital, Washington Square West, Bella Vista East Passyunk, Fishtown, Northern Liberties. There are several more.

I'm looking for a 2 bedroom preferably or a very large one bedroom (at least 750sq ft). Thanks for your input already though.
