One of Philadelphia's most notorious areas - at least from a real estate perspective - is the Logan Triangle, a 35-acre parcel that sits just to the north of Roosevelt Boulevard and Hunting Park and about three blocks east of Broad Street. Formerly a thriving residential area, the neighborhood was

The northern reaches of Old City can feel like a bit of a no-man's land, with the collection of off-ramps, bridges, and major streets keep this portion of the neighborhood somewhat isolated from the rest of the area. However, that has slowly been changing as we've seen more and more
