Philadelphia Apartment Guide
Rittenhouse
16th to 21st, Chestnut to Lombard
The Space: A tiny, tired one-bedroom in a brownstone walk-up, with window units.
The Neighbors: Affluent, dog-owning young professionals; affluent, dog-owning families; affluent, dog-owning empty nesters.
The Perks: What you sacrifice in personal space you make up for in proximity to great restaurants and good shopping.
The Drawbacks: Dog poop. Seriously. (See: The Neighbors.) Impossible street parking.
For a Little More: An even tinier one-bedroom in a doorman building. Bonus: central air.
