        With interest rates the lowest they have been in years and price tags half as much per square foot as New York, what’s not to LOVE?  Oh yea, and most properties in Philadelphia have tax abatements, which could bring your taxes down to way under one thousand dollars for the year.    Over the last year, Philadelphia’s most recognizable and expensive neighborhood, (Rittenhouse Square) has an average settled price for square foot ranging from $500-$800!  This compared to NYC where you are looking at least double ($1400-$1700) for comparable size properties.  With this being said New York is a great city but at what costs when you’re only a 45 min train ride away.  Not to mention, you could easily have a longer commute just trying to get from one side of NYC to the other!  So if you are thinking of moving to the great city of Philadelphia, feel free to drop me an email at Zach@CenterCity.com and let’s discuss some possibilities.

 
       I was on my way to an appointment the other day when I had to stop due to the Lexus LS in front of me parallel parking.  After 5 minutes of torture I was ready to get out of my car and ask if I could park it for her.  I consider myself a patient individual but I draw the line at 5 minutes of unsuccessful parking.  (And to add insult to injury, the Lexus LS has a rear view backup camera)  If you have this problem and are looking for Center City Real Estate please give me a call so I can find you a property with a parking spot.  I will also give free instruction on how to successfully parallel park.  Zach@CenterCity.com
