Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Once the second largest city in the British Empire, this Mid-Atlantic city is now the fifth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Starting life under the Dutch, Philadelphia was one of the most sought after port cities for Europeans coming to the New World.
The English took it over in the late 1600s and it was one of the focal points in the Revolutionary War. So many historical and important aspects of early American government centered on Philadelphia that it is know as the Birthplace of America.Also called "The City of Brotherly Love", Philadelphia is a symbol of freedom and because it is so steeped in American history, there are many important places to view our progression toward democracy.
Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Rittenhouse Square (one of the four squares designed by William Penn) along with sites in tribute to famous Americans like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
Discovering Philly
An early cultural center, there are over a dozen top quality museums as well. From the enormous Philadelphia Museum of Art to smaller more specialized ones, the city is a haven for the tourist as well as researchers. Theatre and classical music have major facilities as do professional and college sports teams. All four major American sports are covered by championship winning teams.
Diverse Architecture
Such a preserved city has historical importance for its architecture as well. While the row house was one of the most common forms of housing, there is a wealth of Georgian, Colonial, Federal and Greek Revival architectural examples as well. Choosing a Philadelphia apartment will find many options for whatever your lifestyle.
There are no official districts in Philadelphia and most locals refer to their area by neighborhood name. Because of the huge influx of immigrants from all over the world, there is huge diversity to be found. Briefly, Center City houses the museum district, upscale Society Hill, Chinatown, and more.
The city spread out from there and one finds every type of community and neighborhood imaginable. Location will be key if you choose to commute by way of the city's vast subway, bus or trolley lines so mapping out your choice will be important.
Famous Foods
Although ethnic food is available literally everywhere, Philadelphia's best known dish is the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich and eateries all over the city vie for the title of "best". Which is your favorite, Pat's, Geno's or Jim's? Starting at the corner of 9th and Wharton, where the sandwich is known to have been invented, cheesesteak places radiate out all over the city. Also popular are soft pretzels and scrapple (a spicy breakfast pork) but everything from the most obscure ethnic foods to mainstream chain style are available.
Philly At Night
Nightlife is so wide and varied there's a single website devoted to finding your own style. Called philly2nite.com, it's a valuable source for both locals and tourists. For live music, the Electric Factory offers a midsize venue that attracts top acts and South Street has more bars than you can shake a stick at. Your new Philadelphia apartment will be a great starting point for discovering nightlife and every thing else this great city has to offer.

Sherman Mills at East Falls
Philadelphia, PA 19129
The Mills at East Falls, once a series of 19th century textile factories, is currently being crafted into a new community that promises to reinvent the concept of neighborhood. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Dobson Mills were the life-blood of East Falls. In the 1800's John Dobson purchased the mills on Scotts Lane and began to manufacture yarn. The buildings were destroyed by fire, rebuilt immediately, and were used to manufacture textiles until after the depression. The Mills and its 17 acres have recently been rescued from years of neglect. New life is being infused by Sherman Properties, a boutique real estate development company. Sherman's vision is to create Philadelphia's first multi-use community of loft residences, artist/craftsmen studios and galleries, restaurants and complimentary life-style amenities. This new model community anchors a charming, eclectic neighborhood bordering the Schuylkill River, just minutes from Center City. In this contemporary urban neighborhood, residents will benefit from a stimulating artistic environment while studio craftsmen will interact with people of like mind and interest. Residents and visitors to The Mills will find several choices of sophisticated and casual dining, the region's largest craft gallery and exhibition spaces, rotating outdoor exhibits, open studio tours, a glass blowing facility, fitness center and yoga studio.
