Improving neighborhood near the city
Located along the Market Street corridor in West Philadelphia, Dunlap is a small city neighborhood anchored by a historic school that was converted into apartments more than 30 years ago. “It’s close to the city, and because the city is more expensive, people are coming here,” says Andres Duran Saavedra, a local Realtor with Giraldo Real Estate Group who has seven years of experience. “The area is still a work in progress but a lot of the properties are being rehabbed and people are investing so it’s definitely improving. I typically see a lot of couples and people from the university moving here.”
