Philadelphia Apartment Guide
Bella Vista
6th to 11th, South to Washington Avenue
The Space:
A one- or two-bedroom in an old brick walk-up, or an updated condo sublet.
The Neighbors:
Single 20- and 30-somethings, hipsters with nine-to-fives, first-time homebuyers, families with young kids, dog lovers.
The Perks:
Cute pocket parks: Cianfrani, Palumbo, Bardascino (a bocce court!). Plus, easy weekday dining, and easily the best Santucci’s outpost.
The Drawbacks:
Weekend brunch crowds outside Sabrina’s and Morning Glory, and Italian Market tourist run-off. No easy access to public transit.
For a Little More:
Sparse inventory between $1,500 and $2,500, but the jump rents you a house with deck and patio spaces, plus parking.
