West Passyunk (1 bed, 1 bath)—The West Passyunk neighborhood is becoming an increasingly popular neighborhood and—just blocks from South Broad—this apartment is right in the middle of it. In terms of space, this apartment is smaller than the rest (the living area and kitchen are in the same room). But it has a ton of perks, like great views, high ceilings, and a shared roof deck.
