I always say this it feels like Philly is stuck in the 90s which is actual good because if you invest now when Development comes you’ll be ahead of the Crowd
Loved your video! As someone living in NYC but contemplating moving to Philly one day, I’m curious to know how you feel the two cities compare in regards to cost of living and safety? From my perspective, it seems like your dollar can go waaaay farther in Philly than in NYC but I could just have a very warped perception of what things should and shouldn’t cost. We’ve also had some really bad safety issues on the subway but I can’t tell if it’s better or worse than the issues on SEPTA. Keep making great videos!
@@alanahrafferty thank you so much. I’ve only visited New York about 5 times and have been to 4 different parts of New York for a small period of time so my information is limited but I would say it depends on where in Philly you move to. Philly is just as diverse as New York City so some areas are more expensive than others and experience more crime than other areas. Some of the people in the comment section listed off some beautiful areas but keep in mind it depends on your needs. Job market, healthcare, transportation and convenience and food.
Interesting video from my perspective. I'm the complete reverse of you: I was born in Macon and lived in Atlanta most of my life and now live in Philly where I will be at the rest of my life or at least in the surrounding area and region. I HATE Atlanta with a passion and the entire state of Georgia. Philly, mostly in South Philly where there's a huge pocket of Italian Americans, definitely has some racist spots, but the entire state of Georgia is a racist spot. I love the politics out here as it is staunchly democratic, but Atlanta, while being a democratic city still is more purple than blue, while the rest of the state is mostly red Republican and very much #MAGA. I see now there are a bunch of Black MAGA Republicans in that state, as a lot of people there are followers. Atlanta is very much a follower city. Philly has a ton of leaders and community activists and people who aren't looking to jump trends. Philly sets a ton of trends and it's plainly evident, especially in our culture. You say the homes are old in Philly, well of course they are, that's the historic nature of pretty much being the birthplace of the country. There's a ton of American history in this city and there's a ton of American Hatestory in Atlanta/Georgia. I love the Rowhome, Twin Home factors of east-coast cities like Philly, Baltimore, DC, Newark, Camden, Trenton, etc. Atlanta has nice single-family homes with history, but a lot of them were slave homes. I can't think of a single thing that Atlanta has over Philly and Atlanta is slowly losing its grip on that region to Charlotte. Charlotte has a bigger population than Atlanta now, too. Atlanta is a trendy city, so I'm not going to say it's all bad, but Philly has prideful city with a lot of inner love. Yeah, it's trash and crime-ridden but if you don't live a certain lifestyle you have endless things to do here: Fairmount Park in itself is dope. I love the spots you mentioned in the video; I'd add in Kingsessing (Baltimore Ave), parts of Brewerytown, West Oak Lane, Fishtown, Northern Liberties as all very dope neighborhoods with a ton to do as far as entertainment and restaurant options. The music scene in both cities is dope for RNB, but I can't stand southern rap, and I've been a Philly Rap Fan my entire life. No comparison in the talent levels of rappers in the two cities. And the sports scene here is virtually unparalleled. Atlanta has fickle fans who won't show up if the team isn't doing well. College sports is bigger than professional sports in Georgia and the south period. Mostly professional sports out here in Philly and the surrounding areas as well as a huge college basketball scene. I LOVE IT OUT HERE! Thanks for the great, detailed video!
@@TopBillinSports I like you perspective of Philadelphia. I see both of the states as unique in their own way. That’s why I offered pro and cons of both. I think different strokes for different folks could definitely be applied here. I don’t see one state as better than the other just different but I do appreciate your perspective for the viewers to read if they are making a decision about where to live. I love Philly, it’s still my home and I visit very often. I’m excited you like it there and thank you for your appreciation for my home state ❤️
@livingwithlexyoutube - Your former home state, lol. It's my actual home state now and where I pay taxes and lay my head... You should come back to my adopted city, though, as I wouldn't live anywhere else in Pennsylvania, and leave that southern mess alone haha. I do appreciate your account of Philadelphia, though, and it was very entertaining and well done. One thing I'd like to add, though, is Atlanta is isolated from other major cities with Charlotte being almost 4 hours away. Philly is 1.5 hours from NYC, 1hr 40m from Baltimore and 2.5 hours from DC. This region can't be touched with location and proximity to other major cities. It's also 1 hour from the Jersey Shore of Atlantic City. Philly > ATL And you did say that you felt Atlanta was better and a legit 4/5 and you gave Philly a 3/5. Much love!
Philly is not as bad as people makes it,it has a lot of potential,one thing I can say is that it’s a crab in the barrel place, the girls are always in competition and the violence,but other then that if we all could come together and enjoy ourselves it would be lit, I miss the night life
I agree with most of the video but I can tell you’re from west lol you missed some nice areas: Fishtown, Brewerytown, Fairmount, East Falls, Manayunk, Roxborough, Mt Airy, East and West Oak Lane, Chestnut Hill. As you said keep your head on a swivel no matter where you are but those are some good areas too!
@@juniorkgreen oh most definitely probably should’ve took the time to write down all the areas but you are spot on I lived in all of those areas at some point but I spent the last bit of my years on the west side I spent most of my younger years in in Germantown and mount airy. Thank you for your comment it helps to know that there are so many more places in Philly you can live in ❤️
No lies here,great video, but if you’re willing to explore there are so many nooks and hidden gems that are worth the time to find and so unique to the city because of its amazing roll in history.
Lived in Philly my whole life, 40 years and the generalizations here are wild. Philly is not all created equal in no way, shape or form. Philly IS diverse, but also very segregated. Gentrification is real, but a lot of neighborhoods remain community based mainly due to homeownership. Sorry for your experiences, but these generalizations are wild AF to me. I could go deeper, but I'll leave it there.
Please watch the video again because I mentioned that. The generalization is needed to make the video short, simple and to the point. Thank you for the positive things you said and have a blessed day.
Yea I kno ain’t moving to Philly I got fam up that way I like Philly people they vibe and u in Macon got cousin down there thinking bout moving there or Augusta
I have been in many properties in Philadelphia. In some places you can't tell you are in the city. And this is an old city, 200 years old. You are saying things not entirely true
Some houses don't have sidewalks like suburbs, in ground pools, farms with horses, stone single houses of all sizes, and many streets with trees. Like I noted, you can't tell you're in the city, houses along rivers and streams. Yes, there are neighbors with lower quality houses. I worked for years as a construction inspector for a city department. There are lots of exaggerations in your video about this city. You use the word "never" a lot, very un true. You generally give people a very slanted outlook. I have lived here all my life. There was a lot I didn't know about until I started my job. Like I noted before, some neighbors. It's hard to tell you're in the city.

Never delete this! It’s a very useful and honest video!
If I had one piece of advice, is if you could include time cards in the future ☺️ in case I wanna revisit certain categories that you talked about
@@PhillyTravelStudy I will never delete any videos and I sure will include time cards next time. I love time cards. thank you so much.
As a New Yorker who moved to Philly I actually like it here it’s honestly reminds me of NY in the 90s
The 90's??! That's not good. 🫣
I always say this it feels like Philly is stuck in the 90s which is actual good because if you invest now when Development comes you’ll be ahead of the Crowd

Very helpful video. I was thinking about making that move but I'll pass. However New York is just as bad in some ways.
It’s what you make it,just try to avoid the popular and urban spots because it can get ghetto but it’s other low key places to catch a vibe
You're wrong about K&A. The high concentration of addicts brings more dealers to the area. This causes more shootings for territory
You are so right I'm about to move
@@hailegrandview do it lol 😂
Good morning ☀️
