What about Kensington in Philadelphia?

[Mike Girard]

Philadelphia is proving to be a tougher nut to crack than anticipated.  Everything desirable is too high for me, since I would like to pay cash (max 250k)  (bad credit risk due to no income) Kensington seems to have some good deals. Is proximity to Fishtown making the area a good investment? What are some other neighborhoods adjacent to mostly played out hot areas that might start spilling over?
