Nate, for 50K or less I would suggest West Philly but its not for everyone. Personally, I think that the closer to center city you are the better off you will be in terms of appreciation. UPenn and Drexel are investing a lot of money into the area (University City which is in West Philly) so the thought is that this will hopefully continue to expand into surrounding neighborhoods.
