my partner and I are looking to possibly upgrade to a bigger space at the end of our lease and have considered renting a house. Our rent has gone up such that if we rented a house in say South Philly we'd possibly be paying around the same amount of money per month, possibly a little more for much more space than our 1br in a scammy apartment complex. those of you renting houses, how much are we paying and where? any pitfalls or big disadvantages to renting a house over renting an apartment in philly?
