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

Things to do in Philadelphia

Recent years have witnessed a surge in local pride. Residents are establishing loyalty to locally owned shops, breweries, restaurants and markets. This has resulted in a slew of seasonal festivals as well as an increase in locally-owned and operated businesses. Some of the best dining and shopping takes place outside of national chains. Philadelphia also enjoys an avid sports community: The Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers get plenty of love. Fans of the arts aren’t left out. The world’s best musical performers and artists—from classical to pop and sculpture to graffiti—make annual appearances on Philly’s stages and galleries.
