fratpat Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Old city and manayunk are def the best places if you're young and love going out...def look into the spring garden/callow hill area near the drexel campus, thats a prime location....

xoericajadexo Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 wen i wuz visiting penn university 3 years ago that area surrounding it didnt seem to goodyea it can be a little shady off drexel and Penn's campuses...if you live on campus it isn't bad but if u graduated you aren't going to want to live there.I would recomend olde city or rittenhouse, manyunk is nice to.I could tell you what bars to go to but it depends on what you like.....btw what are you moving to philly for??

nifer Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 as mentioned above, center city will probably be the most convenient esp. if you don't have a car. a lot of people may complain about the buses, but they aren't that bad compared to other cities. i lived around the south street area for nearly 10years and i'm completely glad i got out of there. although it's close to just about everything you'll ever need, the swarms of tourists and hoodrats make it unbearable to live. i currently live near the art museum which is a completely different atmosphere. it's mostly a residential area, mainly populated by families. it's still close enough to downtown that you don't feel like you're in the country, but it's just far enough to not be in the middle of all the chaos. old city, society hill, rittenhouse will be a tad more expensive than other areas since you'll mostly be paying for location. washington square, fitler square, more southern areas of queen village, are generally more affordable.are you looking to buy or rent? there are craploads of condos being built in CC and you can get them for a pretty decent deal - and 10year tax abatement!
