Welcome to another edition of “Philadelphia Neighborhood Spotlight.”

If you do not live in Philadelphia, but visit the city occasionally for work, dinner, or historical sights, you probably frequent the city’s more popular areas: Center City, Fairmount, Manayunk, etc. But if you’re looking for a cool, new neighborhood to see, Passyunk Square is a must.

Up until I started my new career in residential real estate sales, I had never really seen (or heard) of this unique neighborhood. Not only does it symbolize what neighborhood/business associations and community involvement can do to help revitalize an area, but it also becomes a blueprint for other aspiring urban neighborhoods to follow.

The next time you visit Philadelphia, or look to buy/rent a home in our great city, make sure you save some time for Passyunk Square.
