West Philly (1 bed, 1 bath)—This entire apartment in West Philly was recently renovated and offers new appliances, tons of light, and hardwood floors. It’s one of several units in an old West Philly building at 4531 Osage Avenue and the location—just several blocks from Baltimore Avenue restaurants and Clark Park—is one of its big selling points.

Fishtown (1 bed, 1 bath)—This place is actually available in early July, but it’s got a ton to offer if you’re willing to wait a month. It’s located right on Frankford Avenue and has glossy tile floors, a good amount of storage, and plenty of light. Plus, that location at 251 East Girard is hard to beat.
