Real Estate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia real estate has one of the lowest median home prices of the top U.S. metro areas. If you are looking for small town charm next to big city opportunities, Philadelphia is the perfect moving destination for you. The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce offers a comprehensive relocation package that includes helpful information aboutneighborhoods, housing and more.Real estate agents are also there to provide assistance in buying or selling homes in Philadelphia.

History:
The area now known as Philadelphia caught the attention of settlers in the mid 1600's. In 1664, the British claimed the area, and sent warships to protect their interest. In 1681, The Quaker William Penn received a charter from the British crown for a colony on the Delaware River. Penn and his sons acted as administrators for the colony for more than 50 years.

Philadelphia was once the second-largest city in the British Empire (after London), and the social and geographical center of the original 13 American colonies. It was a centerpiece of early American history, host to many of the ideas and actions that gave birth to the American Revolution and independence. Philadelphia served as one of the nation's many capitals during the Revolutionary War and after. After the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, the city served as the temporary national capital from 1790 to 1800 while Washington, D.C., was under construction.

Economy:
Philadelphia has a diverse economy geared toward information and service-based businesses. Computer-based businesses, finance, telecommunications, insurance companies, and the printing and publishing industries are thriving. The biomedical field is also flourishing in Philadelphia. As manufacturing continues to ebb, the city's educational and health institutions have moved forward as important drivers of the regional economy.

The Greater Philadelphia region has become one of the major corporate centers in the United States. Many companies are locating or expanding facilities in the area. They are attracted by the area's location at the center of the country's largest market, the access to transportation, the availability of medical, engineering, and business schools to supply technical talent, and the open land for industrial park development. CenterCity is still the financial, governmental, and cultural hub of the region. Efforts over the last several years by government, business leaders, and concerned citizens to improve Philadelphia's reputation as a corporate host have succeeded as the city is recognized as an attractive place to live and work.

Tourism:
Philadelphia's historic attractions are one of a kind, and the city plays host to millions of tourists each year. By day, visitors can explore four centuries of history and architecture, beautiful neighborhoods, remarkable museum collections and endless shopping. After the sun sets, the city heats up with acclaimed performing arts, amazing dining and vibrant nightlife.

Tourists also come to Philadelphia to sample its famous cuisine. Certain foods have become iconic to the city. The city is known for its hoagies, scrapple, soft pretzels, water ice, Tastykake, and is home to the cheesesteak; a sandwich traditionally made with sliced beef and melted cheese on an Italian roll. Its high-end restaurants include Le Bec-Fin and Morimoto, run by Chef Masaharu Morimoto, who rose to prominence on the “Iron Chef” television show.

Colleges/Universities: Philadelphia – Interesting Facts:
  • Carbonated soda water was prepared by Philadelphian Townsend Speakman for Dr. Philip Syng Physick. In 1807, to improve the taste, Speakman added fruit juices. Soda water was bottled commercially in 1835.
  • In 1792, Philadelphia became the home of the first United States Mint.
  • Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra collaborated with Walt Disney in the making of the 1940 animated film Fantasia. The orchestra recorded the score in the Academy of Music and later appeared in the film, which managed a handshake between Stokowski and Mickey Mouse.
