I dream about living in one of those houses. The brightly painted doors, the cobblestone streets. Love that area.

Fully cannot afford it though.

Same here. Society hill is my dream neighborhood (preferably as close to south st as possible, some blocks in Society hill are quite far walking distance from any shops or cafes)

I lived in one for a year around 2012-2013 around 6th and Spruce. I rented a room in a 4BR house with three other 20-somethings doing post-college entry level jobs. It was definitely very nice to walk around and stuff, but I couldn’t afford to keep my car in the area since it was literally impossible to find parking. My rent was like $700ish, which seemed low even at the time. The house had a beautiful dining room and living room, but otherwise it was like a normal Philly row home.
