- Fishtown Philadelphia has been called the hottest neighborhood in the country by Forbes Magazine, and for very good reason. Once known as a blue-collar, working-class area, Fishtown has been experiencing a renaissance with new businesses and residents moving in every day.
New construction and renovated homes find their way mixed into older housing stock. The charm of the neighborhood and what it has to offer is a draw for any type of buyer.
From its accessibility to Center City Philadelphia, to the ease of access to Highway 95 for endless commuting options, Fishtown is an easy choice to take up residence for all sorts of folks.
If you're curious what all the fuss is about, take a look at my walking tour and see for yourself!

Thanks for showing. In years ago, at Girard Subway station, that was I in the neighbor of Fishtown.
Before I got a motorcycle, I got on the El 3 days a week at the girard station
joes is right at the start. my favorite spot to get steaks.i worked on liberty apts and a bunch of stuff at the pizza slice when all the tower cranes were up.
Used to live on Belgrade st near fishtown bar on corner the school and hetzles field I think it’s called. I remember a little store called Anne’s places. I’m pretty sure it was 427 belgrade I lived here with my mom in late 90s Early 2000s
How far are you from Kensington? I don’t think it’s that far and it’s very scary.
Crazy how different Fishtown has become. It used to be a complete wasteland, now it's hipster land.
I think it happened because Fishtown is kinda just near of N. Liberties which, itself, is just north of Old City. The latter totally changed over the last 10-15 years.
That tends to be a trend in a lot of cities. Young artists/creative types don't have a lot of income so they start gathering in lower-income areas. Then, they start opening up little restraunts, coffee shops, barcades, yoga, etc... which then start attracting slightly wealthier people who want to live in the cool hipster area. That begins to drive up interest in the area, more opportunities, improved infrastructure and beautification projects. Ironically, the ones who began that process (the artsy creative people) can no longer afford to live there so they end up migrating to the next low-income area and the cycle repeats itself. This is why creative/artsy types are healthy for a big city to have.
Yes, that is so super nuts.
Can you say gentrification
I hung out here back in 79 while my ship was in the yards in South Philadelphia 3 or 4 of my shipmates were from here and Kensington
My nephew moved to fishtown, he has a vegan yogurt & bakery shop and is super happy .
That's awesome! What's it called?
I didn’t think there was ever any possibility of the old PNB building being a condo because that’s a Frank Furness building and on the national register. I lived in Fishtown from 1962-86. I went to that bank often with my mom and it influenced my love of Furness architecture. Fishtown’s limits were on the east side of Frankford Avenue and there were only warehouses, etc. on that street. The Girard Station was NEVER considered Fishtown - let alone the Broad Street subway. Btw - even in the 60s-90s, folks from Fishtown NEVER said they were from Kensington, because the area of the official neighborhood of Kensington that lay beyond Fishtown was always considered undesirable. So, it’s funny to hear anyone call Fishtown (the name given it by Charles Dickens) “Kensingtown.”
You explored the beauty of the city. But I see many people are very concerned about the rampant drug related problems there, in their YT videos. Anyway a very good piece to watch with no boring.
Thanks for watching!
So what...
What big city dosent have drug problems
The notorious open air drug problem is pretty much in Kensington, which isn't that far away from Fishtown (1.5 miles). Most of the drug related violence is in North and South Philly, and parts of West Philly- mostly at night.
all you have to do is go under the el on front and Girard
@@dejohnnelacy254oh right, that makes it totally okay and acceptable then
weird this video came up while i was scrolling through pages of documentaries on the opioid epidemic in kensington
Is cold in winter 🥶????
Disturbing that there is a monopoly on who can offer yoga...how un-yogic!
That can’t be, cease and desist is only for illegal activity, typically for copyright and trademark infringement, in this case you can’t trademark “Yoga” lol, I think the competing gym that offered yoga got intimidated by a letter that had no merit sent by a “lawyer” and stopped offering it, this is what happens when the letter recipient doesn’t know their rights. @LivingInPhiladelphiaPA is that vitamin shop commercial space still available? I have a Yoga studio idea 😂
This guy, if he is still in Philly, needs to go somewhere else other than trendy neighborhoods. How about Chestnut Hill, West Mt Airy, East Falls, Roxborough? He did go to Manayunk.
It looks like he only started making videos this year so he may not have gotten to those areas yet but planning on it.
He’s a realtor, so unless he’s representing properties in those places.
Now show them how close they are to beautiful Kensington!! Another walkable community nearby. Lots of great Noodle spots. The locals pronounce it "Needles" though. Don't get discouraged!!
More than 2 train lines lol. He probably should say mass transit train lines. There are kots of regional rail lines.
Yes, used the wrong word. But you can watch my video on other forms of transportation if you haven't already!
When is that Wells Fargo set to become condos?
Hey! Just starting to get used to comments :) Construction is well on its away. It appears the bank building may be untouched, but the parking lot surrounding it is said to be turned into 59 apartments and 20,000 square feet of commercial space. Where are you located?
@@LivinginPhiladelphiaPA I asked a teller. They are going to build a new building in the parking lot and the bank will move there. Then they are going to repurpose the old Wells Fargo building.
What's up with all these weirdo negadelphians in the comment section lol? Well anyway, Fishtown is a cool hipster neighborhood in the city that is only getting better and growing.
It's crazy, isn't it? The people who shit on Philadelphia the most are the people who've been here the longest. What can you do? I love it and so do millions of people :)
@@LivinginPhiladelphiaPA They are the ones who knows it best 🤷♂️
What a difference from 25 yrs ago 😯
@@Rahim1969 I guess you like these neighborhoods to stay crappy 😲
@@Rahim1969 Calm down drama queen. 🙄
And this is not outside of Philadelphia. This is part of North Philly
Hey there! I said "just outside of Center City." Manayunk is also in Philadelphia, but most people wouldn't say it's in the city. Thanks for dropping by!
Hmmm... it's more part of the river wards: Port Richmond and Bridesburg.
@@LivinginPhiladelphiaPA Most people? Who's that? Manayunk is within the city limits.
Can you say gentrification
My old stomping grounds! Moved to Nashville in 2018 one of the best decision I’ve ever made. Sorry to say.
I've never been to Nashville before! I've gotta make it out some day.
I move to Massachusetts back in the 90s because Philadelphia was getting bad are used to work at the gas station second and Girard used to be a Sitco gas station
Why please???
Ya can’t get to heaven on the Frankfort El,
Ya can’t get to heaven on the Frankfort El,
Ya can’t get to heaven, no ya can’t get to heaven, cause the Frankfort El only goes to …Frankford
Haha. Never heard it but I love it!
From about 1967by a local Group called SEPTA … really
@@joesteve3299 great song its actually by the American dream 1969
what ... . ?
How can I help?
Walk to Kensington n Allegheny its also 3min away from Fishtown…. Market frankford line tons of heroine addicts begging on the train
I know it well! I actually own a property in Kensington. It's a shame to see but it's a very difficult problem for the city to solve.
Can't enjoy a tourist video without some negative bullshit.... so what!!! What big city dosent have bad areas
Lol, ain't nobody going to K&A on purpose
PROVOLONE!
overbuilt and still being overbuilt, construction everywhere. parking is a nightmare. traffic has gone crazy. new builds have 10 year tax abatement; old residents got hit with 300% RE tax increase over 5years- go figure. OVER PRICED. ok to visit but not to live there.
Show them the real fishtown where the drugs r
you should move
No plans to move in the near future, but thanks!
Wiz 🤮
this video is depressing
Why?
@@joez3706 Every single video tour of Philly I see is exactly the same, it's always someone trying to sell the city on people and not realizing how bad it looks. This guy is walking around a place that tries to bill itself as the 'Bushwick' of Philly... it's empty. there's hardly anyone walking around. that doesn't look fun or exciting. ''oh, here's a restaurant. here is a bar.'' where are all the people? it's also too spaced out. this video convinced me not to move to philly. i'll keep paying retarded rents in brooklyn/queens
@@nickcommie Makes sense, and I kind of agree but NYC is so much more expensive
@@joez3706 yeah, it's crazy, but at least it's fun
@@nickcommie the city is not empty though lol. It’s pretty bustling. Fishtown , no libs , center , old city, rittenhouse, mannayunk, fairmount are all areas that are very lively. Not sure where you are at
k&A and Fishtown has more trash on their streets than the city dump! Awful! And the used needles. Ugh!
K&A is definitely not a place you want to go right now. There's definitely a trash problem throughout the city. Not too bad in Fishtown though.
I lived on Aramingo av back in the early 80s between ann and Clearfield it was nice but not now. Fishtown has really come a long way looking great.
