Since winning the Curbed Cup tournament in 2014, Fishtown’s 15 minutes of fame have not let up. So we weren’t entirely surprised when it took the 2016 crown, too.
So in honor of the Best Neighborhood of the Year, behold: Five beautiful homes for sale in Fishtown that are all impressive in their own way, from a renovated corner home to an industrial live-work space.

↑ 1832 Frankford Avenue—This industrial live-work space has been on the market since May 2016, when it originally listed for $925,000. That price is now down to $875K, which buys you a terrace, work space on the first floor, and an extra garage and retail space.

↑ 430 E. Wildey Street—Here’s a home for sale that’s still under construction and expected to deliver this spring. The $619,900 price tag makes it one of the most expensive Fishtown homes for sale, and buys you a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a roof deck, floating staircase, and other modern finishes.

↑ 2006-10 Frankford Avenue—Located in the Frankfordian, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo wants $347,900, making it the least expensive home on this list. The bi-level condo has lots of light due to the oversized windows, and has a private roof deck. And although it’s a new build, there are some nice old-world finishes like wide-plank hardwood floors. HOA fees total $247 a month.

There are heated tiles in two of the bedrooms, plus an extra sunroom and spiral staircase that leads to a roof deck. There’s also a finished basement with its own full bath. Asking price: $459,900.
