I have to say that I was worried about whether I would like this neighborhood because to me..as an outsider it looked like there wasn't much going on for young people..yes..at 30 I still consider myself young. Before I moved to the Art Museum area..I lived in a hip/happening area of the city. Something was always going on..whether I wanted it to or not. I actually lived on the most beautiful street in Philadelphia. It's not just my opinion, but the opinion of everyone in Philadelphia. The homes are priced so high that you have to have a trust fund to be able to buy one. I rented an apartment because I don't have a trust fund. It was a safe street that you could sit on someone's stairs and read for hours..or just observe the beautiful trees and beautiful homes..and daydream of what it would be like to live in one of them.
Having said that..my life is much richer in many ways now than it ever has been. I have a wonderful partner/soon to be husband, we live in a lovely house that has lots of charm..and great neighbors who happen to be some of our closest friends. I could be walking down the street and run into a neighbor with a new puppy or walking a cross the street and have a friend honk and say "Get in..I'll drive you home and we'll catch up!" Our neighborhood has lots of friendly people, great places to eat within walking distance, and lots of beautiful homes. I couldn't be happier..
