Renting for Big Bucks: 10 of the Most Expensive Homes for Rent in Philadelphia
Share this article:
With so many business, cultural, educational, and touristic opportunities around, many people consider The City of Brotherly Love an ideal place to work, study, or live in. Including some super rich folks! While most of them own the homes they live in, there will always be a few interested in the luxury rental market.
These lifestyle renters look for the finest properties available. Some crave downtown living, and will hunt down penthouses overlooking the ever-changing Philly skyline – no matter their price! Others are willing to pay 4- or 5-digit fortunes each month to rent a private estate in an exclusive residential community.
Boasting high-end amenities such as tennis courts, fitness centers, and great city views, plus features often unavailable to homeowners (concierge services, valet parking, or doormen) – the most exclusive homes and apartments for rent in Philly are a feast for the eyes. But there’s a price to pay for the good life!
Without further ado, here are 10 of the most expensive homes for rent in Philadelphia right now – for the rich to consider and for the rest of us to admire (and envy a little bit):
