Philadelphia's neighborhoods are commonly divided up into six sections: North, Northeast, Northwest, West, South and Southwest Philadelphia. All of these areas surround Center City and are the most densely populated. Each of these large areas contains and endless amount of smaller neighborhoods, some of whose boundaries derive from the boroughs, townships, and other communities that made up Philadelphia County before their absorption into the city.

If you are looking for urban, upscale living and don't need to worry about finding a great bargain, then the Camden-Wilmington metro area is for you. Homes in this area range from two hundred and fifty thousand and beyond and is known as one of the nicest areas of Philadelphia to live in. The neighborhood is densely populated and is home to numerous luxury shops, restaurants, and hotels.

The market in the Philadelphia area has been steady over the last decade, and experts generally agree that it's only going to get better over the next few years. Some even suggest that it's best for your pocketbook to purchase a home in the Cherry Hill or Riverton area because demand for homes that lie just outside the city will be on the rise over the next decade.
