Inquiries about Philadelphia Neighborhoods

[Jared Christian]

My business partner and I are wholesalers from out of state looking to break into the Philly market. We have recently launched a direct mail campaign and the calls are coming in! One house is in the Kensington/West Kensington neighborhoods of Philly near E. Clearfield St.

What is this area like; e.g., is it an up-and-coming area, crime high/low, investors looking to buy in this area b/c not much money needs to be put into rehab but can still demand a decent rent, etc.

Thank you in advance for all of your insight!
