Behind Closed Doors at Poplar Estates

POPLAR ESTATES RESIDENTS TELL ALL

What is going on in Poplar Estates?  Well, we don't have any racy celeb bikini photos or a story about a shocking break-up that will shake Northern Liberties.  We do have fresh interviews with condo owners at one of the neighborhood's hottest residences.

It is so common for Realtors to talk up their listings, the way that watercooler conversation can revolve around celebrity behavior. We talk about reality TV stars like we actually know them personally, but we don't.

So it is easy for Joe Realtor to say that a home is amazing and the neighborhood is fantastic. It is quite another when the residents speak highly of their home, themselves. We went straight to the source for Poplar Estates at 837 N. 2nd Street, and asked a couple of residents to tell us what it's really like to live there.

Their Favorite Things

"It's all about location. Not only is Poplar Estates located at the geographical center of Northern Liberties, 2nd & Poplar is also the social hub of the neighborhood."

- Richard

"I love the added convenience of having a garage parking spot in Northern Liberties."

- Amanda

They Like a Good Deal - They're Just Like YOU!

"There are few places around that offer so much space for the cost, with gated parking included! Wonderful neighbors and a great neighborhood. A little bit of heaven in the heart of Northern Liberties."

- Ann

Location, Location, Location

"I couldn't have picked a better location to live than 2nd and Poplar, being surrounded by restaurants, cafes, shops, and parks while having easy access to Center City and major highways when I need it."

- Amanda

Your intelligence level is good but be careful when you are formulating your opinion about a home. Looks and unsupported advice can be deceiving so when determining an opinion make sure you are not misguided. Go back to basics.

12 points

Your intelligence is fair but there is a lot of room for growth if you could just cut that cord, make some fur-less friends, and avoid crystal balls!

18 points

Intelligence level is low. Possibly due to too much spray-on tan or hair gel "fur shur"! Dude, you may want to consider moving back to Cali. "Like" that would be "tubular"!

0 points

You are the cream of the crop, exhibiting an innate intelligence and  powerful observation skills. You are officially ready to buy a fantastic home!
