My husband’s job is moving us to Philly; I know nothing of the city. We are average working class couple with one small child (so schools are important) we only make roughly $75,000per year. What area’s (if any) of the city(or suburbs) can we afford to live, buy a home and raise our child, without going broke? We prefer a more racially diverse area (a nice even mix of black and white) but we are also aware that beggars can’t be choosers. Please any areas and info on those areas would be great!!!
If you are looking for racially diverse, the city neighborhoods will be your best bet: Germantown, University City, Mt. Airy, come to mind. A lot will depend on where you husband needs to travel to for work.
Most suburbs, while good options to live, will not be as racially diverse as the city.
Why did you post that exact same post in the Chicago forum at the same time you posted it here? Clearly you're not moving to both cities at the same time.
Are you doing some research study or something?
