I recently signed a lease to move to Philly so have done a lot of research as an outsider. Go to google and search best neighborhoods in Philly. A lot of lists will rate affordability, night life, parks, crime, etc.

Philly is MUCH more affordable than DC or NYC, so if your budget is flexible, you can find a good spot. My partner and I are moving to Fishtown. You can get three bedroom/2 bathrooms there for $2,700+. Parking sucks thought.

Based on Google people also like northern liberties, queens village, fitler square, Fairmount. I’m sure I’m missing stuff, but google and then cross reference here for the local’s view

Hi all! What are your thoughts on the area around cross streets N 7th/W Thompson? Do you feel it’s a lively area/safe? Per google looks good and the listing I see seems great. Thanks for your time! And if this isn’t the place to pose this, apologies!

Relocating to Philly soon. Found a spot that looks great. The cross streets are Jefferson & Frankford in Fishtown.

I’m planning a trip down to come tour, but would love y’all’s thoughts on that area. From google looks like a good area.

Thanks so much!

Hi, all! Looking to relocate from NYC to Philly in April. In NYC, they always require first and last month’s rent and a deposit (same as rent). Essentially cost of rent x3.

This may be silly, but is that common in Philly too? I’ve tried googling, but with no luck.

Thanks!
