5 houses for sale in Philly, if you want a more affordable city
Philadelphia was named the best city to buy a house online, according to a new report from Repair Pricer, a home inspection site, which analyzed Zillow listings and found it had a high proportion of 3D tours and a low median listing price.
The quality and frequency of real estate listings with virtual apartment tours improved during the pandemic, making buying in another location much easier.
Buying in Philly means you get the perks of city life at more affordable prices. The median sales price is $250,000, according to Realtor.com. Just like in New York City, there’s a mix of apartments, townhouses, and single-family houses. Property taxes are also lower than in NYC.
You also won’t miss out on all of the cultural amenities you’re used to in the Big Apple. Philly is filled with history, museums, parks, and popular restaurants (try Little Nonna’s and South Philly Barbacoa). If you’re a foodie, check out Reading Terminal Market (grab a cannoli at Termini Brothers), history buffs can head to the Liberty Bell, and if art is your thing, head to Philadelphia Museum of Art or The Barnes Foundation (the galleries are replicas of the house where the collection was originally). And you’re less than a two-hour drive to NYC for quick visits.
