A new infographic from Appfolio reaffirmed Philadelphia's place as a half decent city to rent in. Appfolio used data from ApartmentGuide.com to compare rents for entry level studio or one-bedroom apartments in major metropolises to the national average of $761.
As you might expect, $769 doesn't get you much in cities like New York or San Francisco at 375 and 285 square feet respectively. However, in Philly, you can walk away with a respectable 564 square feet. Just good luck finding that price in Center City. Check out up and coming neighborhoods like Fishtown, Point Breeze, East Kensington, Dickinson Narrows, and Francisville for the most bang for your buck and just a quick SEPTA ride into town.
