Spruce Hill (5 bed, 2 bath)—One of the most spacious places on the list this week is this five-bed home on a quiet, tree-lined street in West Philly. It’s got plenty of sunlight, carpeted floors, and it’s a quick walk from the universities in the area, Clark Park, and public transit.

Center City (Studio, 1 bath)—At 1324 Locust Street, this apartment is easily the most centrally located. It’s a studio on the fifth floor of the Arts Condominium building and while it’s a little small, it has a ton of draws: a doorman, a hair salon in the lobby, and hardwood floors and new kitchen cabinets in the apartment itself.
