Safety, affordability and walkability. Looking at homes around the $300,000 range. I was also thinking the same thing, even if it’s a rougher area now, it seems to be improving as East Passyunk is pushing west and with Pennsport to the east.

Thank you! I love Bella Vista and East Passyunk, but sadly there’s no houses within my budget there. Also looking into Pennsport, will definitely consider that more.

How is the area at 5th and McKean? I’ve been living in Philly for about 5 years in Bella Vista and am looking to buy a house down there. Old posts suggest it is unsafe, wondering if it’s changed at all. Thank you!
