Real Estate: Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, is on the rise with various luxury property developments dotting its skyline. It is the largest city of Pennsylvania and the sixth most populous city in the U.S. The Birthplace of America is an East Coast powerhouse of culture, education and industry. It is a one-hour train ride from NYC and a two-hour track trek to Washington, DC. There is a lot more to Philadelphia than being the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed, the Rocky series of movies were made, the world-famous Philly cheese steak hoagie, and the home of the Liberty Bell.
Here is a look at some of the prime real estate in the city and surrounding area of Philadelphia.
