Cost of Living?

A 950 sq ft, one bedroom apartment in Northern Liberties will cost you between $1200-$1700 a month, depending on exact location and amenities. A lot of the apartments in No Libs aren't one bedrooms and are instead row homes or industrial style lofts, so if you don't mind having a roommate, you could get your monthly rent down by splitting a place with another person.

If you're working on Norristown, other options for places to live would be Manayunk (great for people ages 23-30), Conshohocken, or East Falls. These are all along the Septa R5 regional rail, so you could take the train to work.
