Any opinions on Germantown neighborhood in Philly?

Hello all,

I have an opportunity to purchase a large property in the Germantown section of Philadelphia with seller financing. I'm currently helping a friend rehab another property a few doors down but I'm largely unfamiliar with the area. My plan here would be to hold for cashflow (the property is 2 buildings with a total of 3 units). 

The nearest major intersection is Germantown Ave and Chelten Ave.

Any information about the area would be appreciated. As far as I can tell it's block to block like many other parts of Philly but has a wider swing than I have seen in other up and coming areas. Anyone have experience out there?

Thanks
