As a 30-something bachelor, I'm looking at Philadelphia as a place to move and trying to figure out if it's the right place for me. California raised, been in NC for a few years. I'm in medicine and an educated professional, not looking for kids or marriage. I actually like my current job but am trying to figure out where I want to live and what else I want out of life, and Philly has popped up on my radar as somewhere I might enjoy. Live music, an active singles scene, ease of traveling to other places, and college sports are some of my interests.

Just curious if anyone had any firsthand knowledge. Any input is much appreciated.

If you can live without a car (and this is very, very possible in Philly it's just a matter of taste) then the city is your oyster. Adding a car to the mix is a limiting factor on where in the city you'd like to live. I have heard that the Lincoln Square apartments at Broad and Washington are full of similarly positioned people.

I've had a car for over half my life and the thought of not having one is bizarre. I would very likely want to keep it. Very used to living in apartments if that matters.

You're in the right industry for Philly. Lots of jobs in medicine, pharma, education.

The airport is right outside of the city. Big airport lots of flights. And Newark airport is a major international hub and that's only an hour away.
