I am a single fulltime employed person that moved here from nearby working class suburbs in 2016. when i first came here it was a lucky find. there was nearby shopping, close to transit and very quiet most of the time. however after 7 years - post covid, it no longer serves me. a lot of businesses were either shutdown or closed, an increase in crime and my current apt building owners had no problem letting an underground party space take up residence and they often have loud music in the middle of the night. the only good thing about this area still is that there are still some shopping, close to transit to take you to other parts of the city, less crime overall than other parts of the city and the rents are still cheaper than other parts of west philly that's not going to change the fact that for a myriad of reasons i need to move out to someplace at least more feasible to my needs. the problem is, that other neighborhoods that i can still afford are just worse.

It's an ok neighborhood. There's is some crime that occurs: drug abuse, I've heard gun shots a lot since I've been in the area

This area is not bad at all. It is actually a good place where there is barely any trouble. If i could do it again, I would not choose this area although because I am more of a quiet person and I Like the way that the suburbs are rated.
