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

$2700 is $900 per person, that’s not really affordable… or do I need to just make more? (Easier said than done)

Was replying to the person who said their budget was flexible. Certainly wasn’t meaning that $2,700 was cheap…but it is much more affordable than NYC and DC.

…and I can’t afford another city, but if I’m going to another city, then it’s coming with another job anyways I guess
