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.”

Colonials and gothic revival homes
Dunlap’s residents live in a densely populated community with colonial and gothic revival row homes made of brick and stone arranged in a classic city grid. Home prices generally range from about $100,000 to $300,000. At the high end, someone considering investing in rental properties can purchase a three-unit triplex for approximately $275,000 or more. Around that same price point, they could acquire a freshly renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath row house with modern amenities, fixtures and a finished basement.

There are about 960 total homes in the neighborhood and the average number of days on the market for Dunlap is more than twice the national average. Most homes were built in the early 1920s and they can be anywhere from 900 to 3,200 square feet in size.
