Philadelphia, PA Real Estate

The City and County of Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania. The city is colloquially referred to as Philly, and known as The City of Brotherly Love (from Greek : ¦ » ± ­ » † µ ±, /fi.la. d ›l.f ›j.a/, "brotherly love" from philos "loving" and adelphos "brother"). It is the fifth most populous city in the United States.

The population of the city (at the 2000 census ) was 1,517,550 though 2005 U.S. Census estimates a population of 1,463,281. [1] Philadelphia is the second-largest city on the U.S. East Coast, and a major commercial, educational, and cultural center for the nation. The northeastern boundary of Philadelphia is only 46 miles from the southwestern fringe of New York City (and the downtowns of each are approximately 80 miles apart). [2]

The Philadelphia metropolitan area is the fourth largest in the U.S. by the current official definition, with some 5.8 million people.

Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historically significant cities in the United States. During part of the 18th century, the city was the first capital and most populous city of the United States. At that time, it eclipsed Boston and New York City in political and social importance, with Benjamin Franklin taking a large role in Philadelphia's rise.
