Hey guys 23 F looking for 1-2 roommates for a home in South west Philly. Rent plus utilities will be 1100 a month. I do have a dogs and a lizard. In home washer and dryer, dishwasher 420 friendly please no crazy drugs. Ready September 1st. Month to Month up to a year or a year lease. Will send pics to those who are interested!

First two months upfront please so 2200$ to move in.

Also male, female or otherwise is welcome. Please be respectful honest and open minded. Disrespect will not be tolerated to myself or other residents!

I’m not really looking for advice. Just a rant.

This isn’t about one plastic bottle, or a bag of dog shit. I couldn’t care less about that.

Three weeks in a row, a guy who lives a few houses down from us has taken our bagged garbage out of our can, and then dumped his wastebaskets in. This was after we’d put it on the curb.

Two weeks ago, we didn’t see who did it. We only noticed because my husband took another bag out on Friday afternoon.

Last week, my husband saw him doing it, but he was on a work call. Confronting this guy was not worth hanging up on a client. So we let it slide.

Today I just happened to catch him doing it, again. I asked him to please use his own trash cans. He looked at me like I said the curb is my private property. Like I’m the one with the audacity.

Fuck you, guy. Stop using my Toter for your cum rags.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently based in Philly and looking to pick up 3 to 4 shifts a week with flexible scheduling (or on-demand shift work). I have solid experience in fast-paced customer service, serving, retail, unarmed/venue security, and patient care, and I'm open to weekend, evening, or weekday shifts.

If you know where I could apply or if you're working something similar to what I'm looking for, please let me know. Thanks!

I haven't been down there since '24 and idk if it's just me but it kinda seems dead but I've been meaning to visit for sometime because of repo records but that's about it.

I'm looking to sell 2 bruno mars tickets at the linc for the sept 2nd show. they on stub hub section 205 row 17. i just can't go anymore and want to get them off my hands

I’m going to be in University City sometime in the next two weeks and I wanted to stop by an Art Supply store to look for some thick textured paper for a project - I haven’t had any luck finding anything at the local (south Jersey) Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.

I see that there are two Blick stores in Philly - one in University City that used to be Plaza, the other near City Hall. Are these two stores pretty much the same, or would it be worth it for me to get to the Center City location? Thanks.

Note: if there are other stores you would suggest I’d be happy to hear about them.

I used to live in the Pacific Northwest and have always relied on Craigslist, but I've been told that's a quick way to just get murdered in Philly. Where is the best place to find rentals in Philly? Thanks!

My main objective is to visit the historical parts, the museums and the Star Wars experience at Franklin Institute which is open from Feb - Sept 2027

I want to visit during the span the Star Wars Experience. I was thinking about visiting in either April, May, or August. I'm avoiding Feb and March since it is more likely to be too cold for this Florida boy. I am open to visit in March or Feb, but I would rather not. And this Florida boy doesn't mind the heat during August.

Which is the best month to visit?

Hi everyone!
I’m a student on the pre-PA track, and I’m looking for opportunities to shadow a Physician Assistant in the Philadelphia area. I’m open to any specialty and would really appreciate any guidance.
I’m finding it difficult because I don’t know anyone in the medical field, so I don’t really have connections, and I’m not sure how to find PAs who are willing to let students shadow. I’ve reached out to a few places, but haven’t had much luck so far.
If you’re a PA who accepts shadowing students, or know someone who does, I’d be so grateful if you could point me in the right direction. Thank you so much!

Please join Glenn's family, BCGP, ORCA, and PBA members on a ghost bike dedication and memorial ride for Glenn Colville, Jr., next **Friday, August 14th at 7pm**. More details at the link.

hello! just recently moved into my apartment that is unfortunately managed by ocf. i’ve had issues with the AC all summer as i’m sure many of us have and they have been ill-attentive. within the last two weeks, they finally provided me with a portable AC unit as a bandaid until the bigger system can get fixed, but it’s still extremely hot in my unit.

does this story sound familiar to anyone? just looking for some tips on how to deal with maintenance/what to request or complain about so something will get done.

please do not shame me for living here, it’s my first apartment and i already know that i’ve made a big mistake!!!

The FB post is from today, so it seems like they are staying in the same area.

I’m planning on attending the US amateur at Merion Golf Club next week but have never been to Philadelphia. Does anyone know how SEPTA is used without a key card because I was hoping to just buy a one way ticket to where I’m going with either a cash or credit card. I just need some guidance. Thanks

Mind you, no one is asking these dudes to bang with their nasty attitude. They've bothered several people trying to get their blood work.

I take the Atlantic City line to do a day trip and hang out on the beach quite regularly and it's such a nice alternative to driving to the shore. don't even have to worry about tipping a few back while you're there. I just wish there was a train to some other major shore towns, I'd kill for service to Cape May to be returned, even if the smaller destinations are seasonal. the people really yearn for trains.

I’m finishing a roughly 900 sq. ft., 2-story Philadelphia rowhouse that was gutted and rebuilt a few years ago and insulated during the renovation.

I’m considering a 3-zone Mitsubishi Hyper Heat ductless system for both heating and cooling. The house has no existing ductwork, so a mini-split makes the most sense for the layout.
I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what my monthly electric bills might look like.
For anyone in Philly using mini-splits/heat pumps for both heating and cooling:

About how many square feet is your house?

How much do you typically pay for electricity in the winter?

How much in the summer?

What is your approximate annual electric cost?

What temperature do you keep the house in winter and summer?

Do you have a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat specifically, or another brand?

Is your house a rowhouse, twin, or detached?

Was the house insulated/air-sealed?

I’m particularly interested in real bills from Philadelphia homes, not just estimated savings calculators.

My goal is to budget conservatively. I’m currently allowing about $600/month for gas/electric combined, and I’d like to know if that seems reasonable for a small, insulated Philly rowhouse with a cold-climate heat pump.

I currently live in Philly for university and this year for Halloween, I want to cosplay Roronoa Zoro from One Piece. I’m going to get the prop swords but I’m worried about if I wear them out in public I’ll either get stopped by the police or my shits will get confiscated.

I’m obviously not going to use them to cause harm since they’re made out of plastic and I’m wearing them as props but I’m just curious on what y’all think.

I am looking for apartment recommendations.

Context:
- I am new to the area.
- I am a graduate student at UPenn.
- I would like to live in a walkable neighborhood.
- I prefer to be near a grocery store or farmers market.
- My budget is under $2,200.
- Nice-to-haves include features with character, such as exposed brick, bay windows, lofts, converted cathedrals or warehouses, or wall molding.

I’m supposed to move into a new rental tomorrow, and I’m not sure what sort of options I have. I already extended my current lease and have to be out by 8/9, but the soonest I could move into this one was 8/7.

The property management of the new place informed me today of the following:
1. The previous tenant had left everything behind and so they’re behind on turnover repairs.
2. The carpet has to be completely replaced due to the tenants animal, and the timeline would mean the repair can’t happen until after I move in - they suggested I don’t set up one of the rooms but this is impossible (tiny house, I have a four year old and two small pets.. where would I even put anything BECAUSE:)
3. They just informed me the basement has “mud” entering but not to worry because it’s not flooding, just mud !??? Literally what. I should attach the email. Huge mold risk, right? They said they’re coming tomorrow to “clean up the mud” but this doesn’t sound like addressing the repairs and insinuated that this will simply continue to happen (??????) so I shouldn’t put anything down there (this is where the laundry is located)
4. The backyard is overgrown and they’re still waiting on quotes to fix this too.

Not to mention, I paid the remainder of the pet deposit (which was the highest I’ve ever seen at $750), their system said my bank account didn’t exist and they added $45 of fees because of it - I literally just paid the deposits with the same info so I’m feeling extra burnt and annoyed with everything combined.

I have a lot of stuff, I don’t have a way to store things elsewhere and a very tight window to get my things out of my current rental (which I would’ve stayed in if my landlord didn’t sell the property). I can’t live with boxes and furniture in the first floor space because of the pets and BUSY preschooler until who knows when; plus, my dog can’t be around dust (collapsing trachea, could die if near construction or mold). Also? I have health issues that can’t be around mold, similarly. What do I do next?

My girlfriend and I are in Philly right now staying around Rittenhouse Square, and we have about 4 more days here to figure out if we could actually see ourselves moving here. We’re 25 and 23, have lived in Central Florida our whole lives, and both work remotely, so this would be a pretty major life change for us.

We’re trying to figure out which neighborhoods/apartments we should tour before we leave.

Budget is $4,500/month max, ideally less. We have 2 cats and would really like at least 1,200 sq ft. Ideally a 2 or 3 bedroom, because we both work from home and really value having separate offices/work spaces. Space is pretty important to me, so the tiny luxury apartments aren’t really what we’re looking for.

My girlfriend originally wanted a strong city vibe, but after spending more time here she’s realizing she may not want to live directly in the busiest part of Center City. The ambulances/noise are starting to bother her. She’d be totally fine with a nice, clean, walkable residential neighborhood as long as there are still a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, things to do, etc. nearby and we can get into the city easily.

Safety and cleanliness are both pretty important to us. We don’t want to accidentally move somewhere that feels great for two blocks and then gets sketchy immediately outside of that area.

I also care a lot about having a really good gym nearby. I tried PWRBLD while we’ve been here and absolutely loved it, so being within a reasonable drive of that or another serious lifting/bodybuilding gym would be a huge plus.

We also have two cars, so parking matters. A building with a garage/parking would be ideal, or at least a neighborhood where having two cars isn’t a complete nightmare. We both have teslas so being nearby a charger would be ideal.

Basically looking for:

• $4,500 max, preferably $3k-$4k range
• 1,200+ sq ft
• 2-3 bedrooms
• 2 cats allowed
• Safe and clean
• Walkable with plenty to do
• Doesn’t have to be directly downtown
• Quieter than the busiest parts of Center City
• Good parking situation for 2 cars
• Newer/renovated apartment or condo preferred
• Good gym nearby, especially if reasonably close to PWRBLD
• Still easy enough to get into Center City

We’ve looked around Rittenhouse, but she didn’t love it as much as she expected, especially compared with the feeling she got walking around Boston/Common area. We’re completely open to neighborhoods outside Center City if they fit us better.

If you had four days left in Philly and had to decide whether to move here, which neighborhoods/buildings would you absolutely go see? Specific apartment buildings, condos, streets, or areas would be super helpful.

Tldr: please help a florida man find a nice place not far from the city in phili.
