In terms of safety--yes, there are definitely some spots that are better than others. I'll leave it to those who still live there (I'm in Spring Garden now) to define them specifically. But I would say that overall, Brewerytown is fairly safe if you use common sense, and much better than it was even five years ago.
As for hidden gems... hmm. Nothing's coming to me off the top of my head. Flying Saucer (nee Crooked Frame) is a decent little coffee shop. Everyone seems to love Trio, and several of the other restaurants in/around the area. But I don't think any of them can be called "hidden." So I guess I'm not going to be much help in that regard.
Are you thinking about renting or buying? I'm sure others on PB can give you more specific advice either way, but it might help to know which you're leaning toward. |
i think your thinking of fairmount. although these are things that we frequent on foot from where we live.
to the original poster, are you looking at places north of girard or south of girard? if so which ones are you looking at. we just recently bought another house and are fimiliar with housing up here right now. if you ave any questions feel free to ask.\
i just had a brilliant idea. what if we turn this into a sticky that is called "what is the brewerytown area". what do you think mods???
