Joel Embiid lives in a penthouse at Two Liberty Place I believe. Some Pirates player I've never heard of lives in Washington Square. Doc Rivers has a condo in Old City. Tina Fey has a condo.

I think it's pretty common for athletes to have condos in CC, but it's probably difficult for us to attract non-local celebs when the media capital of the world is 90 miles away.

That condo stuff is sometimes BS. The condo companies sometimes "give" a local celebrity a fully furnished condo for a year, so they can market the other $1 million condos to people who might want to live next door to Chase Utley or whoever.

The actual celebs have their "real" houses in the burbs,

You'd be correct on Joel

I can't imagine wanting to live in CC as a Philly Sports celebrity. Not to say that I'd be one of those out of towner's that fly in for the season, that's super lame if you're a long term guy. I'd probably go deep in Delco so I don't get mobbed every time I go outside. Not like Joel has the ability to blend.

As someone who is afraid of heights, thinking about living in those penthouses makes me ill. I took the elevator ride up One Liberty Place where they have a viewing room, and my legs turned to jello near the windows lmao. Good thing Im poor.
