New Mom,
Have you looked into the homes in the Penn Alexander catchment in University City? Penn Alexander is a wonderful school.

You can definitely get more house for your money when you compare Center City to University City. You can even get a little backyard and some trees.
I work as a buyers agent in University City area. I also have a 2nd grader at Penn Alexander and was on the board for the HSA/PTA last year and am continuing as an HSA member this year.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to drop me an email or give me a call anytime. You can find all my contact information on my website below.
Have a great new home search!!!!
