Incoming 1Ls / Re: If you were in my shoes.....GW vs. Temple

if you're going to buy a house in philly, i recommend looking into a neighborhood like northern liberties -- not only is it close to temple, but it is also very much on the up and up. it hasnt caught on to the extent of, say, olde city, where its nearly impossible to find a house for sale (and they're all grossly overvalued)... however, a house in a hot neighborhood is much more likely to build equity over the next few years than just about anywhere else in north philadelphia. (the chestnut hill neighborhood should also be a consideration) the whole concept of urban revival has just started to catch on in philly over the last 10 years, two former wasteland neighborhoods have blown up (manayunk, where i just moved, and olde city), and northern liberties seems to be next in line..
however, a future profit potential analysis would seem pretty biased towards GW no matter how much your real estate might be able to appreciate until then...
