Apartment Life in University City

University City is the section of West Philadelphia closest to the river, where are located the two universities of Pennsylvania and Drexel. Recently the University City area has seen an upswing in its attractiveness as a new place to live, work and eat. The area is full of old houses being bought up by young professionals and professors who would rather stay close to their jobs. The area is one of the most ethnically diverse in the region, providing a good choice of restaurants ranging from Middle Eastern to Indian to Soul Food. As well, the school year brings hordes of students from all parts of the country to this small locale.
