Top neighborhoods

Fishtown
Fishtown
What it’s like to live in Fishtown
Not just hipster heaven anymore, Fishtown now attracts everyone from creative professionals to young families seeking Philadelphia's most dynamic neighborhood. Former factories and corner taprooms now house coffee roasters and craft breweries, creating genuine walkable living rare in car-dependent cities. The neighborhood's iconic row homes maintain their historic exteriors while featuring thoroughly modernized interiors – the perfect blend of character and comfort. Frankford Avenue's commercial corridor offers everything from vintage vinyl to gourmet groceries without requiring vehicle trips, while the Market-Frankford Line provides downtown access without parking drama. One insider tip: rentals just north of York Street generally offer better value with only slightly longer walks to the hottest destinations.

What it’s like to live in Tioga
Cultural diversity flourishes in Tioga, where West Indian markets and soul food restaurants along Germantown Avenue reflect the neighborhood's international character. Affordable twin homes retain original architectural details but often require lead paint remediation—a consideration for families with young children. Community gardens provide summer produce through volunteer participation programs, creating social connections while addressing food access challenges. The area's rich musical heritage continues through church choirs and informal street performances that maintain cultural traditions spanning generations of residents.
