Philadelphia, One of the Best Cities To Buy a Home

Philadelphia made its way onto a Top 10 list that didn’t have anything to do with overweight citizens or crappy sports teams. According to Forbes.com, Philadelphia is the 4th Best City to Buy a Home:

The City of Brotherly Love has a tight housing market—just 1.9% vacancy—reflecting the lure of a charming and historic American city. Steeped in tradition, this city is priced well, with a median home price of $234,900, up from $215,000 in 2005. With abundant cultural outlets, including universities, museums and theaters, Philly is a great place to call home.

Houston (No. 1) has a booming tech culture; Austin (No. 2) has a trendy art scene, St. Louis (No. 3) has Anheuser-Busch, and Philly has history and charm; suck on that San Antonio (No. 5)!
