Zero1Niner you're the man...thanks for all the great inputs.

So what's so great about Manayunk? Everybody has great things to say about it.

Again consider that I'm willing to spend more to stay in a safe place, and again I'm NEVER going to leave the car on the street. Also because what I save in parking I spend it in insurance (which doesn't refund that much if you actually get you car stolen or broken into). So it's going to be for sure a condo or something like that with gated parking, possibly covered.

Consider also that I'm really young, only 20, so nightlife and stuff like that plays decent role in the decision. I definitely would like to live in a place with some life, with people around and stuff to do.
