Studio - $676 (Altho the run down areas are obviously lot cheaper but than you possibly sacrifice your life. I've seen a studio in Germantown for $325... but that's Germantown. Not like it's Mt. Airy, Rittenhouse, Chesnut Hill... actually you can find a $500 studio in W. Mt. Airy, but that's like the bottom line in W. Mt. Airy.. I know 'cause I've been considering moving to Philly myself & I'm getting familiar in the searching I've done so far) so must be for a decent Studio in a decent area. And 2 BR is $923. So, basically a Studio is a waste of money in Philly. Get a 2 BR and split the rent with a flatmate, pay $461.50 each and be in a decent place probably.
