Philadelphia Overview

Sandwiched smack in the middle between DC and NYC, Philadelphia was once called the “6th borough of New York” a number of years back. While it does boast a healthy population of over 1.5 million residents, unlike New York, it never feels crowded and there are plenty of options in Philadelphia apartments for residents to call home. Make no mistake, though, Philadelphia is a friendly city – it features a collection of individual neighborhoods, each with their own charm and unique personalities, where small local businesses thrive and people know each.

Why live in Philadelphia, PA?

When William Penn planned Philadelphia, designating healthful, open green spaces and aesthetically pleasing gathering places for the community was clearly a priority – Franklin Square, Fitler Square, Logan Square, Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square are just a few examples. Families, college students and retired people all find Philadelphia welcoming. From its bike paths to its massive cultural arts roots to its foot-friendly atmosphere, it’s easy to see why Philadelphia is called the “City of Brotherly Love” and living the life in apartments in Philadelphia is so special.

I've lived here in Philadelphia all of my life and I'm 57 years old and to be honest South Philly never looked as good as it does.me and my daughter father broke up and he sold the house he owned and my daughter was getting ready to to college with a full scholarship so she moved in with him and his wife because the house was closed so I live in SW Philly on SSI and I'm trying my best to get a house or apartment but it's hard. But Center City looks good, They have bikes in all the neighborhoods and everything has changed and that's a good thing. Now only if I can get my house or apartment I'd thank the Lord.
