Do you work with people wanting to rent, or buy only? I'm moving about a year from now and am interested in center city, but need to rent for a few years before considering buying.
There are so many great areas of the city! I may make one massively long video highlighting them all in the future. Thanks for your contribution and thoughts!
I was in town exploring the Roxborough area last week. I was more underwhelmed than i thought i would be. The new apartment building complexes were stylish and appealing to see. When i saw that high school right smack in the middle of Ridge Ave and after reading that school has the worst test scores in the country, it just looked like a big blob in the middle of town. BLAH.
Do you only field questions related to those considering buying in Philly, as opposed to renting? I'm going to put Philly on my "places to possibly move to" list, along with several others, but I am a renter.
Despite the disclaimer in the very beginning, these views are Center City centric and therefore of limited value for a future Philly resident. Great neighborhoods include University City, particularly leafy Victorian Spruce Hill and Woodland Terrace; also West Oak Lane nearer to Chestnut Hill. A hidden gem is Gerard Estates in South Philly with it's early 20th Century Arts & Crafts homes
You mention mainly home prices seeming for the purchase of homes, but not rent prices; do you have a video that goes into typical rents in the areas mentioned?
Are there any L-shaped studio condos or coops under 160K in these zip codes 19103, 19106, 19107, 19147? I'm not interested in those small apts at the Arts Condominiums!
IMO, yes as they are still the best neighborhoods in Philly. But there are other great neighborhoods. IMO, anywhere in Center City is great but there are lots of great areas of the city.
There are other great neighborhoods but these are the best. Yes. There are plenty of phenomenal apartments. If you can, I'd recommend buying a condo in Logan Square, Fairmount, or a house in Chestnut Hill if you're not deadset on multiunit dwelling.
Hello, I apologize for the delayed follow up. This is one resource for determining if an area is safe or not: controller.phila.gov/philadelphia-audits/mapping-gun-violence/#/?year=2023&layers=Point%20locations&map=14.20%2F39.96472%2F-75.14747. Nightlife depends on the area. Some of the top rated restaurants in the city are in Fishtown which is right nearby.
Philly is great for empty nesters and retirees! I just recorded a future video about that this morning actually! You won’t regret moving here! Please send me an email to Chris@meetchris.com and I’ll send you some great options for retirees.
What's your top pick for middle aged couple, with not kids who like to access arts, entertainment, great food, but doesn't want to be surrounded by yuppy families or all 25-year-olds? Ha, good luck with that.
Well yuppies will be everywhere. Less families in condos along the Avenue of the Arts and that's obviously in the heart of the arts scene and food scene. Fairmount is stellar as well but there will definitely be families in that area.
Northwest Philadelphia (Roxborough, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill; East Falls; anywhere near Wissahickon Park). I’ve lived here for decades; beautiful, historic houses; Wissahickon Park is perfect for walking, cycling, horseback riding. Seems more suburban than urban; you’ll forget you’re living in a city.

You don't know a fucking thing about the city. .
About to start my master program in Upenn this summer. Your video is really helping a lot, thanks so much
Great to hear!
UPenn/drexel area is one of the best in the city.
@@Jeegus21 That would be perfect! Looking forward to start a new chapter of my life in Philly :)
Honorable mentions .... Manyunk, Roxbourough, West Mount Airy, Northern Liberties, University City, Fishtown ...

Awesome video

Good list and yeah, Chestnut Hill. I thought I was at montgomery county but the street signs are the Philadelphia signs
Right, lol! It's nothing that "Philly" in Chestnut Hill!
Thank you for your video!
You're welcome. Reach out if I can help out.
Great review 💯
Thank you!

Hello, indeed there are lots of great locations in all of Philadelphia!
You mention mainly home prices seeming for the purchase of homes, but not rent prices; do you have a video that goes into typical rents in the areas mentioned?
Hello, I do not. I would try to look on Zillow to see rent prices in the areas I'm talking about.
I like those drone shots

Do these neighborhoods also apply to finding good apartment complexes?
IMO, yes as they are still the best neighborhoods in Philly. But there are other great neighborhoods. IMO, anywhere in Center City is great but there are lots of great areas of the city.

What do you think about Northern Liberties in terms of safety and nightlife?

I grew up in the area and would love to return as a retiree.

Do you have rental agents working with you at all?
Thank you
Hey Zack, your welcome!
Is Scott Furman your father?
Hello Rose, no he is not. I don't know who that is.
