"Up and coming GRAYS FERRY"

This is a area, that is a perfect match for a Drexel or Penn student. The houses are being rehabbed beautifully hard wood floors, granite countertops, large bedrooms, newly tiled bathrooms. Close enough to the universities that one can easily walk or ride a bike. And so close to the river trail with the amazing board walk and riding trail. A fraction of the cost of renting on Drexel or Penns campus- where there is also bad housing units, crime, and stray cats. The people are friendly and want their neighborhood to be rehabbed. So tell your friends, and watch as this neighborhood develops into the next "hot spot" in Philly to live for university students.
