Safe and affordable neighborhood in Philadelphia?

I'm moving to Philadelphia in August, I'm looking for a safe neighborhood with reasonable prices?

  • My fiance and I are getting married. I moving to Philadelphia to be with him. He works at University of the Arts so he wants to live somewhat close to the campus or I'm guessing in West/ Southwest Philly. I'm looking for an apartment with 1-2 bedrooms with at least 1.5 baths. We're on a tight budget so the most we can spend is $900.00 on rent. I'd prefer something with a washer and dryer in the apartment. and I want it to be SAFE and CLEAN and NICE, for the most part when I lived in NY I lived in a "luxury" apartment....so I mean I'll take ANY suggestions or even contact information for landlords, Please and thank you!

  • Answer:

    You are not going to get safe, clean, and nice for that money in that area. You are looking to live in almost the ghetto. That's as nice as I can put it. You may get some answers that try to soft soap things. This is just the hard truth. $900 will not get you what you want in that area. You will either have to pay more, or look in other areas or suburbs of the city, with a longer commute. Please, look before you leap!

The closer to center city you go, the worse crime is. It's also bad around universities. I'd look at North east and surrounding suburbs. You still have access to transportation.

look into south jersey, you can always take the train into the city. places like collingswood, haddonfield, voorhees, etc are really nice areas where you can find nice places in your price range
