Bet the plumbing and electric all fukked up. Cleaned it up nice tho
Chances are, they are. I know too much about Philly lol. I used to work at Lowe's out there years ago in 07 when people starting getting on their real estate shyt. People buy cribs, put $30-50k in them...which is big money, but they do nothing to the foundation, plumbing or electrical. It's all cosmetic. shyt will start to randomly break in 3-5 years, like floor tiles because the floor joist are beginning to sink because no one did anything to the walls.
Property in Philly is cheap for the most part, but the schools, city services suck ass. You get what you pay for.
A non-rowhouse must be super expensive out there, huh?
There's really no single family homes in Philly. Even the rich areas are row houses. You gotta go to the far northeast (which seems like a whole other city) or random isolated blocks to see single family cribs.
This particular block i see is Saybrook Ave in southwest Philly. The area is hood, but that particular block is sweet. It's about 1/2 block from a police precinct. It's a liveable block, just like much of southwest and West Philly, it's grimey.
