East Falls (2 beds, 1 bath)—You can almost always count on East Falls if you’re looking for breathing room. This 1,200-square-foot rowhome has a front porch and pretty large fenced-in backyard. It’s also a block from the SEPTA station. The monthly rent is $1,250, but you’ll have to wait until April to move in.

Queen Village (1 bed, 1.5 baths)—Located right at the end of East Passyunk Avenue, this bi-level walk-up definitely has some character, mixing exposed brick and concrete floors with brightly-colored modern appliances. It clocks in at 700 square feet. No word on pets or laundry, though.
