Philadelphia metro area recommendations
Hello BP community,
I am currently a NYC resident, but will move to Philadelphia this summer. I want to take advantage of the move and buy a duplex or fourplex, with my family living in one unit and renting out the other units.
I plan to drive to the area this weekend to get a feel of the neighborhoods/suburbs in the Philly metro area. To those who are familiar with the market:
- What areas do you personally like, either in the suburbs or neighborhoods in the city?
- What areas do you think are growing or have a particular feature attracting residents (particularly young married couples with no children)?
- What areas should we stay away from? This is particularly important since we don't know the area.
- What local publications you like or deem reliable (e.g., newspapers, blogs, or business trade publications) to know the area well?
Please feel free to contact me by inbox, as I am also interested in networking and building my RE team (broker, lawyer, accountant, property managers, etc.)
Thanks for you help!
Cheers,
Francisco
