Once the retreat of artists priced out of the neighborhood of Old City, Northern Liberties has seen a boom in recent years, thanks in part to projects such as the Piazza at Schmidt’s and an increase in the number of restaurants and bars throughout the neighborhood. It can be more difficult to get a deal in the neighborhood these days, but if you have a fair-sized budget, you have a number of options to choose from.

Under $300,000
