Fresh Address: 1520 W Thompson Street

Today's Fresh Address is an investment property. You've heard how an "ugly duckling" turns into a "graceful swan", right? Well we have a "green frog" ready to be turned into a "handsome prince" at 1520 W. Thompson Street.

Where It's At: A coveted Temple University location. This home is a result in an early Green Movement in Philadelphia, built 27 years ago. 1520 W. Thompson was one of the first solar-enhanced homes in Philadelphia. Solar Details.

Come On In: It is a great time to invest in Philadelphia Real Estate. Single family residential homes make fantastic rental properties and out-perform as an appreciating asset. There is a greater yield potential in Real Estate compared to other more risky endeavors such as the stock market and growth mutual funds.

Projected sale price after a full rehab is about $135K and projected rental price $1,200/mo.

$89,900

Let us know if you are ready to kiss the frog and perhaps leap from 1st time investor to Real Estate Entrepreneur!

For more information, please contact the Somers Team.

Walk Score of 88.

A Photo Tour of Fresh Grocer in North Philadelphia

North Philadelphia is a section of the city that has been ripe for another supermarket. The North Broad stretch which includes the Temple University main campus, has shown particular need for a grocery store that could provide the community with organic produce and healthier items, all at a fair price point.

The Fresh Grocer at Progress Plaza on North Broad answered the call. The market, which opened in December 2009, received partial funding from the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative. First lady Michelle Obama recently visited the store while in town to promote her campaign against child obesity, "Let's Move!" She commended the Fresh Grocer for its nutritious selections that appeal to children and stopped by the store's smoothie bar for a strawberry banana smoothie.

While some refer to the neigborhood as Templetown, it's not just college students who live here. The area is home to many families who are excited to have a full grocery at their doorstep. The supermarket not only means fresh food access, it also means jobs for locals. Fresh Grocer even provides a ride home to customers that live within three miles of the store and spend $50 or more on their groceries. The bright, clean, and modern store is a huge asset for the surrounding neighborhood, inspiring further economic development and promoting a healthier lifestyle for residents.

You can even follow the socially savvy supermarket on Twitter through @thefreshgrocer, from which they link to nutrition tips and store updates.
