As Philly’s population continues to increase, many neighborhoods are becoming more and more popular for homeowners. One such neighborhood is East Passyunk Crossing, which stretches east from Broad Street to Sixth Street and south from Tasker Street to Snyder Avenue and which has earned recognition for its restaurant scene. Although in 2015, the median price of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Philadelphia was $252,102, according to Coldwell Banker’s Home Listing Report, there’s a lot of variation throughout the city based on neighborhood. If you’re looking to buy in East Passyunk Crossing, here’s what’s for sale and what you can get at a variety of price points.
Less Than $200,000
The property at 516 McClellan Street is listed by Dogukan Gungor, Coldwell Banker Preferred.
These days, it’s a bit of a challenge to find a home in East Passyunk Crossing for less than $200,000. Many properties in the $100,000 to $200,000 range are just outside the boundaries of the neighborhood. Take this 992-square-foot, two-bedroom, one bath rowhome on McClellan Street, listed for $150,000. It’s located less than a block to the east of the neighborhood’s boundaries. Although the exterior of the home could use some TLC, it has a number of desirable features inside, including a skylight, large bathroom, and an eat-in kitchen.
Between $200,000 and $300,000
The property at 932 Sigel Street is listed by Margaret DelColle, Coldwell Banker Preferred.

For example, a 1,260-square-foot rowhome at 13th Street and Snyder Avenue has four bedrooms and two baths and is listed for $264,900. Although it’s large, it has some features people might find dated, such as vinyl flooring in the kitchen and wood paneling on the walls.
