Good videos, Chris. Realtor here. Toronto here. Similar size metro population in TO of around 6 million. Been to nearly all the big cities in the North East and Mid-Atlantic but never been to Philly. We hear about the bad stuff, but I agree that there seems to be a ton of overlooked good things there especially in the affordability department. Can't beat the regional location either, the ocean, DC, NY, are all close. Look forward to checking out Philadelphia in the not too distant future.
thank you for your content, it's highly valuable. i live in jersey city, nj (right across the Hudson river from downtown Manhattan) and have visited Philly earlier this year for a brief weekend getaway. i really enjoyed the vibes of the Rittenhouse Sq-City Hall portion of the city. and considering your rents are literally half the price where I live I am seriously considering Philly as a mid- to long-term relocation point
Thank you for content. There's not many YT creators who make videos about Philly. Regarding Rittenhouse Sq vs Washington Sq. Rittenhouse is the more lively square. There's always cool stuff happening. Vendors, artists, musicians, and all that. It attracts all walks of life. Very cosmopolitan. Washington Sq doesn't quite match it, but that might be a positive to some people. Not everyone wants a busy park. Some want it low-key, quiet. Even though I don't go to Washington Sq that much, I appreciate that it's there. I hope they keep it low-key. That is it's purpose.
