I mean there are huge swaths of North and West Philly you should avoid if you’re able to, along with scattered spots in other areas. What’s your criteria in terms of budget, location, etc?

Ideally something around the 1k max range. Trying to escape Jersey's minimum $1500.

Philly is hard to pin down aside from the bigger areas mentioned above and everyone has their own threshold. Find places you like and once narrowed down do a dry run of regular things like a grocery trip, trip to work, train, park etc and look around. Make sure it meets your safety standards.

You are going to have to move to one of those neighborhoods to avoid, or bordering one for 1k max unless you get a roommate.
