Apartments in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a great place to live, work and play. It's known as one of the most livable and affordable cities in the country. Farmer’s markets around the city are thriving, fun fills the air during the fall with the Oktoberfest beer garden, and museums and entertainment abound throughout the year.

Commuting from an apartment in Philadelphia to NYC is fairly easy and takes less time than for some people living in Long Island, or NJ. Telecommuting is even easier and gives you more time to enjoy all that Philly has to offer. 40% of the downtown population walks to work, helping to keep the city green and promoting that brotherly love that defines the city
