Northern Liberties is one of Philadelphia’s most energized and growing areas. Harkening back to Penn’s industrial designation as a place for smiths and open space, Northern Liberties today is a fusion of artists, builders, musicians, professionals, young families, bistros, beer enthusiasts, studios, festivals, salons, and the new Piazza at Schmidt’s. You will also find dog parks, community gardens, and charter schools.
In Northern Liberties, old brick rowhomes, winding backstreets, and sleepy European gardens mix naturally with converted lofts, new high-rises, and a wealth of new services. Despite its growth and popularity, many buyers and those looking for apartments still appreciate the affordability and uniqueness of the spaces in this neighborhood.

Ask friends and family or coworkers who they trust as a realtor and rental agent, what schools are best, what the best restaurants are … and do not be afraid to get references, too.
DO SEE FOR YOURSELF.
One great strategy we see often, especially for people moving from other climates, is to examine your new destination by visiting at different times of the year. Are the winters too cold? Summers too hot? Is there anything more beautiful than Philadelphia in the spring and fall (sorry, we had to add that last one
