My Philly Neighborhood: Fairmount (aka the Art Museum Area)

Published by

Living in Fairmount is like living in the city, but with training wheels.

Fairmount—often referred to as the “Art Museum Area” due to its proximity to the Philadelphia Art Museum—is located just a mile and a half from the heart of Center City, but has all the perks of living in a small neighborhood. For example, there are less people, more parking spaces, and a variety of housing options for a fraction of the cost. I have lived in Philadelphia for over six years, and I spent five of those years living in Fairmount.

My Philly Neighborhood: Old City

Published by

I ended up living in Old City by pure chance. When my wife and I married in October 2011, we decided to move into the city to experience urban living while it was still feasible. Over the next two years, I realized how lucky I was to find a place in Old City. From casual strolls past the literal birthplace of our nation to fine dining and easy access to public transportation, Old City has a lot to offer.
