Philadelphia Neighborhood Discussion

[Brian Bond]

Hello everyone - I've been looking at several neighborhoods in Philadelphia, and West Philly has always interested me, especially with the plans that Drexel has been providing for the development of that area. While it is a bit far away from there, Overbrook has caught my attention and I've heard of quite a few people earning a high ROI in that neighborhood. Lots of properties seem to be in good shape, asking price is reasonable, and crime is low. Does anyone have experience with this neighborhood?

@Brian Bond - I agree with your assertion that Overbook is an area where investing might make financial sense. My former assistant actually used to live in the neighborhood and is an area that has some good properties on the market. 

I also agree with what @Jonathan Senker mentioned...there is a very low inventory of affordable rentals in Bala and Wynnewood.

I'm a licensed real estate agent based in King of Prussia, but spend time all over the region from Center City Philly to West Chester to Chestnut Hill checking out properties and doing my own investing. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.

Best of Luck,

Zach
