Moving in Philadelphia: what's different here
Philadelphia is a city of attached rowhouses, many built before 1930, so shared party walls, narrow interiors, original wiring and basement water are part of nearly every repair.
What it costs here: Rowhouse access is the local cost driver: materials come through the front door, and party-wall work needs a neighbor's cooperation and sometimes a license agreement.
