Philadelphia Apartment Guide
Northern Liberties
Front to 5th, Spring Garden to Germantown Avenue
The Space:
A new-ish-construction one-bedroom/souped-up dorm at Liberties Walk or in the Piazza.
The Neighbors:
Recent college grads, first-time city renters.
The Perks:
Liberty Lands Park. 2nd Street shopping and dining (clothes at Arcadia, gifts at Art Star, grub at Green Eggs). And yes, finally there’s a supermarket.
The Drawbacks:
As buzzed-about as this ‘hood is, gentrification here is still ongoing. Crime is an issue.
For a Little More:
One of Bart Blatstein’s renovated single-family homes on American Street.
