Looking to move to Philly in the next month and a half and am trying to decide between Old City and the Logan Square area. I’m mid 20s and want to be close to younger people and restaurants/bars etc. Looking to pay around $2000 for a one bedroom, any specific apartment recommendations?

Hm. In terms of actually living in these neighborhoods, Old City has an older crowd, but nightlife wise, they're both pretty young. I'd also be mindful of places in the heart of Market St or JFK west...after 6 pm the business area of Center City is pretty dead.

Logan Square would be my choice. Center City is pretty small and dense and you'd still be an easy walk/Uber/septa ride from a ton of nightlife. And then in Logan Square you'd be close to Target, whole foods, and Trader Joe's, CVS, etc for all of the normal daily life needs. Old City is comparatively dead and devoid of things these days IMO.

I would say Logan Square - there’s plenty of really cool bars and nightlife within a mile radius.
