Living in the city of Philadelphia , traffic only becomes a problem during rush hour. Streets become mainly congested in the downtown area. Traffic around where I live flows like water daily. There is always bicyclists in the street sharing the road with other cars. If one doesn't have a car or bike, using public transportation (SEPTA) can be a quick way to get to where you are going.

My girlfriend, a few friends and I moved here in April of 2018 and we all love it. Point Breeze is a low key neighborhood with a few coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. It's the perfect location with its easy access to center city and also the major highways. The neighborhood gets more beautiful by the month.
