It’s a varied situation. It would be a good idea to look for yourself. The city is doing some of the work, and of course there are private entities doing development. For instance, an area just north of Center City was in limbo for 20 years…now 17’ x 70’ lots are going for 50,000 and up and new construction starts at 250,000 and more.

Im looking at moving to Philadelphia in the nexyt year or so. If anybody’s from Phillie or done business there, could you give an overview(i.e.-Good locales, lenders, title companies, etc) of what to look for before I move?

Here’s a suggestion - MOVE TO HARRISBURG INSTEAD!! It’s absolutely great here, only 1 hour from Philly, same distance to Baltimore, great property values and very low crime. I’ve lived in a lot of places, and this beats them all hands down. Just my 2 cents.

There is a lot of new construction of new single family homes in University of Penn area, Northern Liberties, Brandywine East and many parts of North Central Philadelphia. Search out exactly what you want. We had two lots in one area & wanted to sell them for 140,000 each but traffic was not up for it and we are selling one for less than half… the other has a title/tax issue that has to be handled.

What about existing homes? Would any of those areas have duplexes or muhs in abundance? Or is the whole area being renovated?
