Logan Square offers homeowners historic buildings, public spaces and restaurants in walking distance
One of the central neighborhoods in the Parkway Museums District is Logan Square. The busy Center City is within walking distance of “a couple different downtown neighborhoods, so you’re pretty close to everything,” says Mike Bottaro, a local realtor with Homestarr Realty, with over $124 million dollars in sales. Public parks and historic art museums surround the eponymous square and feature well-maintained brownstone townhouses and high-rise condominiums.

Established brownstones and modern high-rise condos
“You’ve got more established homes in Logan Square, less construction than other downtown areas, and good walks to local restaurants,” says Mike Bottaro. Most Logan Square’s homes were built before the 1970s but feature well-maintained interiors and amenities. The community’s townhomes feature brick exteriors and ample street parking, while condominiums feature in-house amenities such as fitness centers, deck or balcony access and pet-friendly accommodations. Home prices vary depending on several factors; a condominium that is less than 1,000 square feet and is farther away from the community’s center starts in the low $200,000 range, while larger homes closer to major attractions or roadways can range from $500,000 to as high as $3 million dollars or more.
Logan Square has rows of condominiums and apartments in the inner Philadelphia city.

A lot of people ride their bike, but it seems kind of dangerous with all the cars and sometimes narrow streets. Walking is the best way to go in my opinion.
