New Yorkers Find Philadelphia Freedom

Filed under: Real Estate: Condominiums — Center City Philadelphia Real Estate Agent @ 9:15 am

I came across this great article the other day.  Tom Acitelli of The New York Observer had this to say about the new trend of New Yorkers relocating to Philadelphia:

"Since 2001, 8,334 New Yorkers have moved to Philadelphia and stayed. Most—3,957—moved from Brooklyn. After Brooklyn, most émigrés hailed from Queens (2,160); and the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island, respectively.

What makes Philly so attractive? The Rocky statue atop the art museum steps? That’s been moved. No: It likely comes down to real estate.

Although exact numbers are difficult to find, Philadelphia home prices, generally, are absurdly low compared to almost any area in New York." 

The rest of Tom’s article can be read here.

As a realtor for 19 years here in Center City Philadelphia as well as an owner of an Old City Condominium, I’d have to say that I agree with these New Yorkers that Philadelphia is a great place to live! So, when you are ready to head down the turnpike and look for a great loft or condo here in Center City Philadelphia, give me a call at 215.521.1523 or drop me an email at Mark@CenterCityCondos.com.
