South Philadelphia East is a fun yet affordable area comprising of several neighborhoods, most consisting of two- to four-bedroom brick row homes, although there are also plenty of apartments and brand-new condos, particularly along Broad Street. This area houses Passyunk Avenue (pronounced "Passh-yunk" by the locals) that has exploded in recent years with stores, bars with plenty of craft beer, and restaurants, including the high-end Laurel, run by a top chef. The Italian Market is also nearby, a blocks-long outdoor food and produce market, making for easy grocery shopping.
The area is diverse, and you can find newcomers alongside native Philadelphians whose families have lived there for several generations. South Philly-living offers more of a community feel than downtown, yet the Broad Street Line and numerous public transit buses flow through this section, Center City is less than 15 minutes away.
