Thoughts on these areas: WSW, Queen Village, Fairmont, and University City? These seem really walkable, but are they affordable, safe, things to do, etc.? We are looking into the details but would love thoughts. We also love artsy areas. Thanks. :)

All of those are safe and have things to do, affordability is relative and WSW QV and fairmount are pricier.

Passyunk is definitely more neighborhoody than somewhere like WSW. I constantly see people I know. You can hit passyunk, QV, and wsw in basically one long walk. Philly isn't all that massive, you can uber up to fairmount and then down to UC (or walk down the schuylkill river trail).

Is Passayunk more small town? It's hard to tell. Trying to narrow it down to a few we can visit.

It kinda has the feel of a (really cool) small town, but it’s in walking distance of Center City. Best of both worlds, in my opinion. I love it.
