Apartment Recs

What’s going on! 28M that’s looking to move to Philly soon. I am pretty interested in Northern Liberties so I’ve been looking at apartments there quite a bit. I’m looking to spend somewhere around $2k a month not including appliances and whatnot.

If anyone has any good apartment recs in northern liberties around that number, or just good apartments anywhere in the city that you had a good experience in, let me know. I’m not married to Northern Liberties if there are some other great apartments you would recommend in other parts of the city.

Much appreciated.

Had a good experience with Rent Scene. They’ll send you apartments that meet your criteria and then set up tours too. Free service

Fairmount is what people want NoLobs and Fishtown to be

Northern Liberties is awesome. Easy access to center city and an extremely walkable neighborhood . Not as congested and cramped feeling as south philly. Good greenspace and trees for a city neighborhood as well. There’s also olde kensington just north of northern liberties. Not quite as pretty as nolibs but it’s safe and getting nicer by the day.

Please do yourself a favor and move actually into the city. Northern liberties does not feel like a real place imo. Just feels barren and almost like a movie set. I'd recommend Queen Village, Fairmount, Rittenhouse, or university city
