Learn About Philadelphia Neighborhoods and The Tim Garrity Team

Philadelphia is a city of many things: important history, diverse culture, and absolutely incredible food and drink. From its place in American lore as the birthplace of the Constitution to the decades that shaped the blue collar identity of the city, Philadelphia has always been a place where anyone could make a life for themselves. Today, Philadelphia is in the midst of an urban renewal that has seen revitalization efforts bloom across the city, bringing forth an explosion of culture and community in neighborhoods all around town. Consistently ranked as one of the most liveable big cities in the country, Philadelphia strikes a balance between hosting a large urban environment and a collection of smaller communities and neighborhoods that give an authentic character to the town.

And that’s really what defines Philly; its unique character and ambiance. Though locals make many jokes at the city’s expense, Philadelphians are undyingly loyal. The whole city is truly a diverse blend of many cultures and people from all over the country and the world. That blend lends itself to the great many cuisines and communities that give flavor and flair to the city, and enables our collective growth every single day.
