Are you looking for the newest and most attractive apartment options in downtown Philly in areas like Northern Liberties? You’re in luck, because there has never been a better time to look for apartments downtown — there are a number of great apartments waiting for you.
Philadelphia is unique among major U.S. cities in that you can get the best of both worlds — a big-city, cosmopolitan feel combined with walkable streets that are rich in history and charm. As a world-renowned city known for its colorful history, it’s not always easy to find new construction.
That’s not the case, however, in Northern Liberties. The past few years have seen so much new construction. It just shows the vitality and spirit that is reflected in a recent national survey that named this neighborhood one the “coolest neighborhoods” in the nation.
Northern Liberties reflects an ongoing phenomenon in cities around the country: Millennials are moving in and revitalizing older residential areas. Almost 40 percent of adults between the ages of 20 and 34 reside within a two-mile circle of the center of the Northern Liberties neighborhood.
Located on the banks of the Delaware River, Northern Liberties is known as a hip, young, vibrant scene. There is so much to do, you might never leave the neighborhood. Check out the loads of cool shops on Liberties Walk; enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the open patio restaurants; tip a cool draft at one of the many local microbreweries; and get your dance groove on at hot spots like Silk City.

One of the best ways to take advantage of Northern Liberties is to live right here in the neighborhood in a new building. A good example is 622 N. 62nd St., which has new stainless steel appliances, deep bedroom carpets, granite counter tops, hardwood floors throughout, a roomy parking garage, a washer/dryer in each unit and a welcoming environment for your pets. The building has a fresh, modern look that also fits perfectly in the historic charm of the area. You’ll find a number of units with layouts from 880-980 square feet, encompassing two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Young Philadelphians like you want to be close to the nightlife, restaurants, shopping and music clubs you can’t find outside the city. Northern Liberties is an exciting, energetic neighborhood that delivers on every count.
