Fishtown

One of the city's strongest appreciation stories - a matured arts-and-dining district drawing young professionals and repeat renters, with a healthy mix of historic rowhomes and new construction.

Pricing has climbed and now requires sharper underwriting than a few years ago; verify STR and rental-license rules. Appreciation first, cash flow second.

Appreciation buyers who want a proven-growth walkable district and will underwrite carefully at today's higher prices.
