You could also get a decent studio in CC between $1200-1500. In West or South Philly you probably can find a 2 bedroom for $800-$1000 per person with a roommate, and then save about $400-500 (depending on your utilities.

I swear the way some people put it, I would have been lucky to be able to sleep on someone's door step for $1700 lol. Those numbers dont seem terrible at all.

Thanks for the info!

Well they ARE terrible for people from Philly. 25% of the people live on under $30,000 a year. Many middle class renters had to move last year because landlords in Center City were raising rents a few hundred dollars and they were being outbidded by people from more expensive cities. This is not a wealthy city, although there are people who can afford $1700 and more, it is HIGH for many people in Philadelphia. The city cannot even fill its jobs because they don't pay enough.
