Logan Square (1 bed, 1 bed)—To be closer to the Center City action, take a look at this one-bedroom apartment in a recently converted rowhome. It has an open floor plan and all new appliances, mixed in with an exposed brick wall. Got pets? Sorry, but you’ll have to look elsewhere.

East Passyunk (1 bed, 1 bath)—What this apartment lacks in size (it’s 575 square feet) it makes up in outdoor space. This new apartment is one of the few units in the building next to Gold Star Park that comes with outdoor space—600 square feet total in the form of a wrap-around patio. Inside, there’s in-unit laundry and pets are welcome, too.

Graduate Hospital (1 bed, 1 bath)— For a pad with character, check out this 1,281-square-foot apartment in Graduate Hospital. The pet-friendly rental features an open floor plan with original tin ceilings throughout, as well as a more contemporary kitchen. All that may appease the fact that the fireplace is only decorative.
