Looking in Kinsessing
Hi. I am looking for information about the Kinsessing market. I'm not familiar with the area. I'm told that it is one of the next up and coming areas, but it seems a little too close to the rough part of West Philly. Thanks.

Kingsessing IS the rough part actually. Yet there has been a spike in property values in that section of the city. the closer to Cedar Park the better. as you move closer to Elmwood you go deeper into sw and the value takes a dive. though it fluctuates in SW as it does in the rest of the city. that's just the way Philly is. even in hot sections, whether they're up and coming or consistently hot, prices can vary tremendously. perform your due diligence thoroughly. my coin.
kudos,
Mary
