  Richmond

  What's it like to live in Richmond?

  Riverfront renaissance energizes Richmond, where Philadelphia's former industrial district along the Delaware River now features distinctive adaptive reuse projects alongside traditional row homes. The developing commercial district continues adding amenities serving resident needs beyond visitor experiences, while excellent public transportation including multiple bus routes and the Market-Frankford Line creates car-optional possibilities. Though some industrial operations remain active, the combination of affordability, character, and riverfront access creates compelling value for households seeking distinctive environments beyond cookie-cutter apartments.

  Point Breeze

  What's it like to live in Point Breeze?

  Graduate students and young professionals are flocking to Point Breeze, where Philadelphia's southward renaissance has created vibrant energy without yet reaching peak gentrification pricing. The neighborhood's row homes often include roof decks with Center City skyline views that would cost thousands more monthly just blocks north. Unlike established Graduate Hospital or Queen Village, you'll still find long-term residents maintaining authentic cultural institutions from barbershops to corner stores that haven't been converted to artisanal everything. The developing commercial corridor along Point Breeze Avenue now includes coffee shops and brewpubs alongside traditional businesses, creating interesting neighborhood texture beyond homogenized redevelopment. When considering rentals, properties west of 20th Street generally offer better value with only slightly longer walks to public transportation – a trade-off worth calculating against your daily commute patterns and budget priorities.
