Why Young Professionals Are Choosing Jenkintown Over Philadelphia

Philadelphia is an incredible city. But try as you might, the math of renting in the city — especially for a 2-bedroom apartment — does not always work in your favor. More and more young professionals are doing what a growing number of smart buyers have already figured out: live just outside the city, own instead of rent, and let the train do the commuting.

Jenkintown is the suburb making that equation perfect — and Beaver Hill Condominiums is where many of those buyers are landing.

The Commute Is Genuinely Easy

Jenkintown-Wyncote Station is directly across the street from Beaver Hill. SEPTA Regional Rail connects you to Center City Philadelphia in about 25-30 minutes. No car, no parking, no traffic. The commute from Beaver Hill to a Center City office is genuinely one of the easiest in the entire Philadelphia metro area.

For professionals who work hybrid schedules, the train access means that on office days you get a comfortable, stress-free ride, and on work-from-home days you have a spacious 2-bedroom unit with a second room that works perfectly as a home office.

Your Dollars Go Further Here

A 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit in a quality building with a pool, a doorman, and all utilities included — for $230,000 in Philadelphia proper, that does not exist. In Jenkintown, it is 100 West Ave #229S, and it is available right now.

Beyond the purchase price, the all-inclusive condo fee means your monthly housing costs are predictable. No surprise electric bills. No maintenance surprises. No property taxes on landscaping or snow removal services — all covered.

A Town That Actually Has Things to Do

Jenkintown is not a sleepy suburb. It has a genuinely lively downtown with locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, a beloved independent movie theater, and regular community events. It is the kind of place where you can actually walk to things — which for many young professionals is non-negotiable.

And when you want more? Philadelphia is 30 minutes by train.
