If you’re looking for a suburb near a big city in proximity to the airport, public transportation, and a nature preserve, you’ve found it. Southwest Philadelphia offers the best of both worlds—suburban lifestyle with big city amenities. Philadelphia is the city of all cities as one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. However, rent can be pricey in the city, so why not move a little further out to find more affordable options?
Southwest Philadelphia offers great condos for rent near all of the major attractions. Just minutes from the University of Pennsylvania and bustling City Center, Southwest Philly has it all. The Philadelphia International Airport resides on the south end of town, while the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum lies directly west of the airport, dedicated to preserving the Tinicum Marsh. Enjoy hiking trails through the gorgeous marshes and long-winding Darby Creek.
Southwest Philadelphia falls into the School District of Philadelphia, and the city offers many family-friendly attractions. Experience history first-hand at National Historic Landmark Fort Mifflin, one of the only intact Revolutionary War battlefields and the only fort in Philadelphia, or admire one of the world’s greatest collections of racing sports cars at Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum.
