Philly HomeDweller

Welcome to our Home! We are a local, 100% Philadelphia-based real estate company. We understand that city living is more than an address—it's a lifestyle. Living in Philadelphia means being part of one of America's great cities — surrounded by a rich history which sets the stage for a vibrant, diverse, urban scene. It means being able to walk to world-class art, music, dining, education, sports, entertainment and, of course, being around people who share your enthusiasm and interests. It also means making a smaller 'carbon imprint'—for example, walking along interesting and ever-changing streets, and using PhillyCarShare when a car is required.

What will you find here? On these pages you'll literally have a gateway to all kinds of information about real estate in Philadelphia, city living, and the positive things that make living in our home town a pleasure. Use our powerful search tool to sort through the thousands of properties that are listed—we make it easy to find that special home you've been dreaming about.

Our blog, "@Home" is a stream of fresh links to articles about city life in general and Philadelphia in particular. Articles we liked and thought you would too. You can even use this blog as a place to start conversations—adding comments to the section after each post is a great way to share your thoughts with others. It's all about community.

We will soon be adding video podcasts featuring interviews with real people who we've helped find their perfect city home. You'll enjoy hearing how city living has added new dimensions and opportunities to their lives.

Come back often and check what's new. Even better, just click on the RSS link and you'll get an automatic update when something new has been added to our site.
Thanks, Vickie, Roger and Norman
