Best neighborhoods in Philadelphia: hidden driveways

By Friday, December 04, 2015

Everyone knows Rittenhouse Square houses some of Philadelphia's most elite and top earners. But did you know that some of the most highly sought after homes are located in South Philadelphia These include the out-of-sight hidden neighborhoods of South Philly where homes are seldom on sale. Our real estate sources cite waitlists on some of the homes in which buyers earnestly await homeowners to sell.

"Money is not the issue here. Many of the prestigious and quiet neighborhoods are rare gems that South Philadelphians are unwilling to let go of. They won't sell even though they no longer have the people to fill the home."

Where are these places? They're the hidden driveways; the crooks and nannies in South Philly that you wouldn't think to go to because they're just driveways. In reality, these hidden neighborhoods house some of the most beautiful homes in South Philadelphia. Lawns, parking, garages, access to public transportation and shopping centers; these homeowners do have it all.

"They're the secret no local wants to let new buyers know about. They are so few of them left that people just keep hush about them and wait their turn to get in."

Some of these hidden neighborhoods were revealed to be in our own far south Philadelphia: Saint Christopher Dr and Saint Michael Dr of the Whitman neighborhood. The Whitman and Pennsport neighborhoods received accolades for being located near public transportation and Center City, yet remained close enough to shopping plazas and the 'burbs.
