Philadelphia Overview

Sandwiched smack in the middle between DC and NYC, Philadelphia was once called the “6th borough of New York” a number of years back. While it does boast a healthy population of over 1.5 million residents, unlike New York, it never feels crowded and there are plenty of options in Philadelphia apartments for residents to call home. Make no mistake, though, Philadelphia is a friendly city – it features a collection of individual neighborhoods, each with their own charm and unique personalities, where small local businesses thrive and people know each.

Why live in Philadelphia, PA?

When William Penn planned Philadelphia, designating healthful, open green spaces and aesthetically pleasing gathering places for the community was clearly a priority – Franklin Square, Fitler Square, Logan Square, Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square are just a few examples. Families, college students and retired people all find Philadelphia welcoming. From its bike paths to its massive cultural arts roots to its foot-friendly atmosphere, it’s easy to see why Philadelphia is called the “City of Brotherly Love” and living the life in apartments in Philadelphia is so special.
