If you guys are looking to buy a condo and price really isn't an issue Ten Rittenhouse just finished and is crazy baller. Probably the best address in the city.
Heh, I didn't say price wasn't an issue, but some of those places look pretty nice. I think she'd be all about the brownstone-->loft in Old City, plus that's pretty convenient for me hopping on 95 and heading North.
From Rittenhouse, I guess I'd hope on the Vine St Expressway --> 95? How is that headed across town between like 7a and 8a?
We'll see where the GF ends up working and whether that impacts us. Plus we have some friends already in Rittenhouse, so she might want to be down in that area.
Keep the suggestions coming though -- I really appreciate them, and they look great so far. It's getting me pretty excited for the move, actually. I'm more of a NY guy (grew up on the shore in central NJ, so a little more NYC-centric than Philly-centric), so I was pushing for Manhattan, but she really wanted to give Philly a shot. For the $$, I decided, why the hell not?
