The 10 BEST Neighborhoods in Philadelphia

[@patrickkelly8043]

You made it clear that this is a Center City focused video/channel, and I respect that, but I think you got to shine more of a light on the Fishtown/NoLibs/Olde Kensington/Port Richmond quad of neighborhoods. Immensely popular among families and young professionals alike, incredible food and nightlife, and fantastic transit & accessibility to the center city. Quite literally, where I live in Fishtown, it is a shorter commute on the MFL than it is a drive to my work. If your target audience is PA suburbanites looking to move to Philly or out of market city dwellers relocating to Philly, you can't make a best neighborhoods video without mentioning one of those neighborhoods.

Hi Patrick, thanks for your comment. Some of those areas will be coming out in future videos on my channel for sure!

Fishtown suuuuuucks I'm moving out after 4 yeas in fishtown

[@chinster84]

Fishtown/NoLibs is the best!

[@abikanas]

@@livingincentercity yay I'm happy to hear that! Old City and Fishtown sound cool. I'm looking to relocate to Philly. I would love to hear about neighborhoods based on their particular art scenes (museums, classical music, jazz, indie, etc.) I'm a little overwhelmed because it seems like most of the neighborhoods have something great to offer. Love your channel!

Port Richmond and most of Olde Kensington suck ass. Yea that have some ok areas and there is a lot of real estate investment occuring, but that's because the areas were terrible. You might be in one of the new apartment complexes, but you'll be sharing the street with friends, bums, and YNs

Another great video as usual. I really enjoy this channel, keep up the great work

[@livingincentercity]

Thank you!

[@TChrisGibson]

Enjoyed the video! I'd add also South Philly, much of West Philly, Northern Libs, Fishtown, much of Kensington are also nice neighborhoods ...especially for home appreciation

[@livingincentercity]

You’re right, Philly has so many great neighborhoods.

[@mariamcoulibaly2139]

This video is useful to me because I plan to move to Philadelphia. Thank you 🤩

[@randorific333]

OMG, Society Hill! What a gorgeous neighborhood/area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@engysaeed9383]

Great job, thanks for make it clear ..What about making a video about neighborhood and schools near it ?!

[@livingincentercity]

Hello, thank you! We do have a video in the works about the best schools in the city. In the meantime, this video might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDdd4RnoL1ni6M but it won't be an in depth school video.

[@kharesiddharth2526]

I live in Philly and your video was still useful to me .. pls a map of all these area like center city divided into different areas

[@jhrusa8125]

I grew up on 16th in Ritner in South Philadelphia. Though It's a working class area. It's safer than any neighborhood that you mention on your channel.

[@livingincentercity]

Indeed, there is that little pocket in South Philly that has very low crime rates between Broad and Passyunk.

[@jhrusa8125]

@livingincentercity Actually, my neighborhood is between West Passyunk & Packer, Broad & 25th( which includes Gerard Estate).But East Pass is great all the way down to Oregon & West of 7th in parts. And you can't forget about 2 street. Thanks for the content....

Did Center City’s boundary recently move south to Wharton?

[@wheredogaysretire]

Thank you for a wonderful video on Center City neighborhoods! You really break everything down at a high level. Great for someone not knowing anything about Philly.

[@SERVIUSTULLIUS]

Think this would benefit from a more detailed profile of each neighborhood’s history. For example, Rittenhouse Square grew as an enclave of the city’s monied class in the mid to late 19th century, I.e. Drexels, Biddles. This was the social register neighborhood of the city’s “Old Money”. Graduate Hospital’s Christian Street was a street of Black American professionals in the early to mid 20th century. Fairmount in the 19th century had many breweries founded by German and Slavic immigrants.

[@ELIZABETA333-n4x]

Communities along the Delaware River???

[@aubreycrowder3903]

Branch out to Passyunk dog

[@NathanAponte]

Far Northeast is best less crime

[@larrydysondev]

i live in the phily suburbs currently...every single area you noted is a gentrified overpriced neighborhood. priced 3k to 5k a month. youll get more for your money moving to the suburbs and commuting into the city like the average professional worker does.

[@boostedgixxer]

The suburbs will not give you the city living, walk everywhere, close to everything vibe. Which is what most people who are looking to live in center city wants. Cost is relative and whats expensive to one is not expensive to another. Compared to other northeast cities downtown area, Philly is reasonable price. I personally love center city and I’m happy you found a great area in the burbs that gives easy access to the city plus all the benefits it has to offer.

[@larrydysondev]

@@boostedgixxer again NOT true...case in point, King of prussia..heck even swarthmore/media. trappe, i can keep going and all less expensive. and get this, they all have high speed lines directly into and out of the city (except trappe)

[@boostedgixxer]

@@larrydysondev when I was referring to other northeast cities downtown areas I should’ve clarified. I was referring to Manhattan NYC, Boston or even going out west to Chicago. When compared to those cities Philadelphia is less expensive. And in my personal opinion, I enjoyed it more than those other cities and I think it’s worth the price. But if it’s not for you that’s cool. That’s the beauty of having different areas to choose from.

[@larrydysondev]

@@boostedgixxer lets just stick to the philly area. if youre really from here youd know im correct. ive personally lived all over the city and when i made real money, i bought a house in the suburbs just like the average working professional like i stated. center city is gentrified and you know it

[@boostedgixxer]

@@larrydysondev I rather a gentrified neighborhood than a rundown one🤷‍♂️
