On the 2100 block of Race Street, just south of the former home of the Please Touch Museum, an eight home project has been in the works for a couple of years. When we last checked in here in May of 2013, a former School District building had just been

Back in May, we told you that the 2014 PHS Pop-Up Garden would be appearing on the 1400 block of South Street. We've been foaming at the mouth in anticipation, and now the wait is over at last. Remember, this was a godforsaken vacant lot just a month ago (and for like

In real estate, we always talk about location, location, location. Sometimes it seems though, that traditional maxim goes out the window. Sometimes the big picture of a location trumps the small details about the location. And such is clearly the case with the Parke Place Townhomes on the 1300 blocks

Norris Street near Frankford Avenue has seen plenty of action in recent years. Norris Point, ten homes that replaced an overgrown lot, has been a huge success. A couple of single family homes have sprung up. And new homes will soon replace a former auto center at the corner of Blair

When we last visited the 2700 block of Cambridge Street a few months ago, we checked in on two homes that were replacing a vacant lot and a blighted building. These homes are now finished, with one under agreement at a list price of $415K. Yowza.These were recently finishedThe price

The area from 10th St. to Broad St., Spring Garden St. to Fairmount Ave. has seen tons of development in recent years, and we commonly refer to it in shorthand as the 'Spring Arts' neighborhood. Some of this development is related to the present- proximity to Spring Garden Street, easy

2008 wasn't so long ago. But in parts of East Kensington, it seems like it's been a lifetime. Take, for a small example (and there are so many others), a small stretch of E. Susquehanna Avenue just past Trenton Avenue. Back in 2008, it was a vast wasteland.Back in 2008Slowly,
