[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Philadelphia is a much larger city than either Baltimore or DC, population wise.  I lived in center city for three years (Rittenhouse area) and encountered far more crime than in 20 years in Baltimore.  Basically the good and bad parts of Baltimore are more divided, in Philadelphia, it really can vary street by street, especially downtown.  Market street in Philadelphia has really gone downhill while other areas, mostly near the water, have improved.

Fell’s Point is really charming and would be a fun place to live as long as you are ok with the late night traffic due to the big bar scene there.[/quote]

Philadelphia is basically a tad bigger than Baltimore+DC in population. In land area it's a tad smaller than those two put together.

Center City, IME, is a bit like early -1980s Manhattan in that so much varies by a lot of random factors like luck. If you really crave urban grit, it might be a good place, but it seems very uneven to many of us.

I'm guessing 'near the water' means the Schuylkill, not the Delaware. But maybe you mean Fishtown and Northern Liberties?[/quote]
