I plan on driving in to see apartments on a Saturday in Queen Village, Passyunk and Pennsport. Will I be able to find parking or will I miss my appointments driving around looking for spots?

Try to allow extra time and plan on walking a few blocks. It's very unpredictable.

I'd just park in the middle and walk across town. Depending on how deep into Pennsport, walking there from QV can be a stretch but it's doable. I'd rather be outside enjoying a nice day than struggling to park.

Whether it's these others or others -- keep in mind you're picking areas where you already know going in that street parking may be the norm, OFF- street parking will be hard to find, ASSIGNED or dedicated off street parking may even be more difficult to have.

Unless you rent a town house that has a garage or driveway or in a building that has a garage -- you're just going to have to deal with whatever parking may be available.

It's like the sun coming up in the east -- it's the way it is -- Those areas can have difficult parking issues. Figure out a way to deal with it -- or pick other areas.

Depends on where your date lives, where you plan to meet, and whether she prefers to be picked up or would rather make her own way to and from the date. This is another case where the closer one is to Center City, the less likely a car is an issue.

Yep. If you had a car and were to pick them up from those neighborhoods, bring them down to Center City, take them back to their place then head home yourself, I can see how that would make for a long night. You might spend as much time driving as you would on the actual date.
