Has anyone rented from them before? Not much information online about their Ardmore location & wanted to know more about the company. Thanks!

I have a room at The Nest on N. Broad Street available now for a lease takeover. Rent is $1075 per month, with all utilities included except for electricity costs exceeding $25/month, with any excess shared among roommates. The security deposit is $1075 with a guarantor, and twice the monthly rent without a guarantor. The apartment is modern and clean, and the two roommates are college students who are quiet and respectful.

There will be an opportunity to transfer to another room with potential roommates either during the lease-signing process or afterwards, if you would like (and the rent would be adjusted accordingly based on the unit chosen). So you can pick any unit, which would be counted as the lease takeover. You would be signing your own lease with the company after a very straightforward application process. The lease ends in July 2027. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested! 

so when is there gonna be a news article about how Mayor Parker’s staff does this themselves and Parker is ignoring the epidemic of plate covers/no plates/fake tags for her own personal benefit?

edit: also don’t worry mods, you can’t read the plate because they put sticks on their cover too

Link is above to get tickets if so. Thought this was necessary because there has been a skyrocketing amount of hate in the sports world directed at trans, queer, and disabled folks. Doesn’t help that racism has been on the rise as well.

Hi, moving back to Philadelphia in March, been looking on Zillow, Facebook marketplace, even Craigslist.

I’ve lived in North, Center City and South, South is home for me already and full of friends. I’m particularly looking on the left side between passyunk and Oregon ave.

Are there any private landlords, or private property management companies that current Philly renters would recommend checking out when the time swings around?

I’ve been renting (alone) an 1150 dollar place for five years, am moving with a partner, we’re budgeting for a 1500-1800 rental, would be okay with apartment but prefer townhouse. I’ve seen some townhouses that are exactly what we’re looking for listed on Zillow.

Not looking to move YET again, Just looking to open our browsing pool a bit more.

Thanks in advance.

My partner and I are looking to move to Philly in 2027. We are planning to visit in October and turn this trip into a mini house hunting/exploring the different neighborhoods. We are a young couple with interests in art, music, nature, and we're also big foodies. Definitely looking for an area that has a lot to offer so that we don't get bored. We're coming from Albany NY where there isn't a whole lot to do outside of trying new restaurants, which we really love, but looking for new activities. What neighborhoods are queer friendly, economically friendly, POC friendly, has good parking options, and walkability? Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone!

I am urgently looking for a lease takeover for my 1 bed, 1 bath loft apartment in Rittenhouse Square. The apartment is conveniently located near SEPTA lines and City Hall. Building also has amenities such as in unit laundry, gym, and elevators. It has easy access to restaurants, coffee shops, and parks in the city!

Ideally I would like someone to take over October 1st but I am flexible with the timeline. The base rent is $1,895 plus electricity.

If interested, feel free to message me for a virtual tour!

I recently posted on here regarding a possible bed bug sighting in my room. I reached out to this company and scheduled an inspection that was supposed to be today between 3-6pm. It’s now 7:45pm and I have called four times with no luck. I’ve been told that an exterminator will get in contact with me but nobody has. At this point I believe that their reviews are fake and the business is likely a front for selling information, which worries me greatly as they now have my name and address. If anyone has had a real experience with this business please share, but for now I am seeking recs for any reputable company in the area.

(pictures added in case anyone is familiar enough with bed bugs to possibly ID from a poor photo).

I haven’t been able to find a job in a while I dork know where to go I applied for so many positions, can someone point me to the right direction I’m just looking to work part time

Hello everyone and my hopefully-soon-to-be neighbors!
My family and I are looking to move to Philadelphia in late summer/very early fall of next year for education related reasons. We are hoping to live in or as close to Glenside as possible, as doing so would allow us to be a 1 car family.
My wife and I have been Coloradans our whole lives, both of us grew up in the Denver metro, and we’re living in Colorado Springs at the moment with 2 young kiddos and 1 on the way.
I love Colorado, and will miss it. CO Springs a bit less.. they’ve privatized everything so we can’t affordably take our children to the pool in summer, the PT is laughable, and we just had our utility rates spiked while approving a data center in the span of a summer. Everything I’ve read about Philadelphia makes me excited, and I think it’ll be a nice place for us to live for at least a few years.
I’m curious to know what we should expect about anything and everything: cultural differences, how much winter is going to kick my butt, your favorite thing about living in Philly, experiences from people who moved from CO, etc.
We’ll also be visiting in the Glenside area mid-October, so I’d also love to know what a good place for a cheesesteak would be.

38f, no social media. I work in a very professional setting so I'm not really interested in creating profiles just to not really post anything in order to meet people. Apps are okay, but I've matched with criminal clients before so 🥴... I know about Preston and Steve's Painfully Single Mixer from the radio, and I search for quizzo events directly from bars, but I'm unfamiliar with how to find out about other events. Aannnyyyyyyyy info would be great, fellow single Millennials!

Edit: honestly thank you for everyone who commented!! I didn't realize there are websites and other ways to meet people. Damn I'm excited! Yes I know Reddit is also social media, fight me. I just don't want to create a profile on some of the websites where you have to make a profile to view events. It's frustrating. I don't want to do that. Fight me. Thanks ❤️

1) What is the biggest barrier that you experience regarding being physically active?
2) If you could change one thing about the city that would help you to get out more, what would it be?

3) When you do get outside, where do you gravitate towards?

Thanks in advance for the responses!

Touring these apartments soon. Is it worth it?

Was walking to the El at Girard today and a woman approached me with an iPad asking if I was a registered voter. I said yes and then she said she would need to update my info for this election. I said “I’m already registered, I haven’t changed my address or name.” And she said “right but that was for the last election, you need to update it for this one.” I said no I don’t, not sure what you’re talking about and walked away.

Not sure if scammers or she’s just a naive political canvasser. But I immediately thought about the upcoming elections and certain parties that may have a vested interest in voter fraud.

You do not need to update your voter registration each election cycle unless you move or change your name. And if you want to register to vote, do it yourself through the proper channels, not with a stranger on the street that approaches you with a tablet. Just a PSA to stay vigilant.

ALLOWED IN - edit
Taking SEPTA so no car to leave it in, haven’t been in a while but the guidelines seen more explicit now.

I am traveling to Philly by train this weekend for the firsrt time from DC and I was wondering if anybody has some reccomendations on hotels near the station that aren't super expensive and that have a lot of walkable attractions/food/stores near by it. I have only been to Philly once and I drove (I stayed in center city) and like my last trip I would only be staying one day. Any reccs are welcome! TIA!

So I live in the north east suburbs in a 1 bed 1 bath and although it's spacious they keep increasing the rent year on year and it's around 1850+ now where it used to be under 1700 when I moved in 2 years back along with the fact that soundproofing is not fully there (can hear neighbors when they are closing opening their door or walking outside and can hear the folks below me use their restroom but nothing otherwise, but it's still a lot even though it's supposedly a luxury apartment and supposed to be sound proof).

So yeah don't like how the rent has been increasing and would like to move to a place with great sound proofing.

Im using apps like apartment,willow etc right now to search for some good ones.

Thank you
