Yes, you will have to go higher. Decide what part of the city is right for you first and start looking there. Quality of life will vary considerably from one end of the city to the other. I've lived in Washington square and Rittenhouse. Prefer Washington square. Quieter but close enough to get everywhere. Depends what you are looking for.

The new condo at Walnut street will but ultra luxury. Nothing smaller than 2700sq/ft with price range from $2.5-$17mil. There were rumors that Beyoncé and Jay Z would be the owner of one of the most expensive unit.

I work in this area and it's going to be very expensive. A few of the older building will be converted to semi condo on certain floors. Still up in the air as to what is going to happen with the empty space in the Dow building.


If one is looking to buy in this area, it's going to go up. Not sure $350K will get you anything decent now.

Wife and I bought this summer in old city. Low 400s for a 2 bed/bath 1800 Sq ft loft. They'really out there, you just have to be ready and pounce when they come up.

I'd say 400,000 is a realistic number for old city.

If you're willing to extend your criteria beyond "apartment/condo heavy areas," plenty of rowhomes in your budget in South Philly and even the Graduate Hospital area.
