Exactly the thread I was looking for!

I'll be moving back to Philadelphia this summer to start a job in University City. Until we get a better sense of where we want to live permanently, we're looking for a place to rent. Does anyone have suggestions where I could live/rent in center city with easy access to University City that also has some covered garage parking?

Finally, any particular dealers/service spots to avoid/use?

Welcome ToasterThief! Several of us met up at the West Chester CnC this morning to celebrate the unseasonably warm weather. Can't wait for you to join in.

We rented about 18 months at 1930 Chestnut. Great staff. Super location. And there's a parking lot adjacent to the building. They can do rent durations as short as 6 months and are a pleasure to work with.

I'll PM some additional info.

How was the West Chester CnC today? Did y'all get a group together?
I'm sorry I missed it... Bug going around the house and none of us were up to it.

I'd suggest a separate thread for this, but in the meantime, check out "Naval Square" near South Street/Gray's Ferry. Beautiful community. I started out there when I first moved here 10 years ago, owned 2 units there and rented them both when I moved away (have since sold but there are always other rentals...) It worked well for us as I worked in downtown Philly and my wife worked at Penn. Good luck!

Weather was a bit crisp, but nice. As for attendance, I've never seen so many Porsches at one of these West Chester C&Cs. I'm thinking that maybe one of the nearby Porsche Club regions (Delaware Region, perhaps?) made this a club event, which would account for the large number of Porsches - and I'm just realizing that I didn't bother to look at any of the license plates.

When we started this CnC a decade ago must of us were Porsche guys then and we still are.

I think some of it may have been that Jon Walton was debuting his GT3 RS.

I was dazzled yesterday by the gray Ferrari 308 (TJsBeer) and the blue Porsche 911 Targa (TorqueChap). Very nice, indeed!

Not Philly, but a new owner in Lower Bucks.
