The trendy sushi craze that was sweeping across the US a few years ago is still running strong, especially in the Philadelphia scene.  Now you can find sushi almost anywhere in the area, from the abundance of restaurants to fresh sushi at your local grocery store.  Sushi has evolved into its own style and people are eating it much more frequently.  No matter what Philadelphia neighborhood you live in, you have access to delicious fresh sushi.  The debate for the best is one that can be argued, but here are a few must try locations:

1.)    Morimoto, 723 Chestnut Street- A quick Google search will show you all of the positive reviews.  Morimoto is a must try not only for the sushi but for the striking interior of the restaurant.  Iron Chef Morimoto takes Japanese food to a new level in this cutting-edge restaurant.

2.)    Umai Umai, 533 N. 22^nd Street- This cozy BYOB has received numerous praises from critics for the delicious sushi.

3.)    Blue Fin, 1017 Germantown Pike Plymouth Meeting- City dwellers travel out to the burbs for a taste of the often hard-to-find fish used in the sushi at Blue Fin.  Located in a strip mall, this BYOB might not scream “must try” but it’s definitely worth the trip.

4.)    Izumi, 1601 East Passyunk Ave- Another BYOB located in the East Passyunk neighborhood, Izumi doesn’t disappoint.  “Izumi is simply delicious sushi, done with care and served with style.”

5.)    Vic, 2035 Samson Street- Vic is known for affordable rolls, they have a great 3 roll special for $10.95

Philadelphia home owners really love their four-legged canine friends. And nothing makes a dog’s day then a fun-filled romp in a dog park. If you want to get tails wagging, spend the day at one of the city’s best dog parks.

Seger Park – Located on the border of South Philadelphia and Center City along South 11^th Street, Seger Dog Park is a well-maintained pooch park that has easily accessible rules and is close to lovely Philadelphia neighborhoods. Maintained by the Seger Dog Park Owners Association, this fenced-in park has double gated entrances and has plenty of lighting, ensuring a well-lit environment for evening playtime. During the dog days of summer, Rover will love basking near the water fountain.

Mario Lanzo Park- Small, but well shaded park in the heart of Queen Village on the 200 block of Queen. Look for our dog-loving Atacan Group Team member there, David Darami. He will be the one with a Boxer talking about real estate.

Passyunk Square Dog Park – This South Philadelphia dog park, located at 1200 Wharton Street, is like a playground for dogs. Featuring plenty of stumps and logs for your dog to jump or hide under, this fenced-in park is conveniently located close to Columbus Square.

Clark Park – This generous park located in West Philadelphia isn’t just a favorite sledding spot for locals, it’s also a great place to take your dog. Spanning more than 9.1 acres along Baltimore Avenue and 43^rd Street, Clark Park has plenty of tress, bushes and statues for your dog to sniff, see, and explore. The flat section, aptly called the “Dog Bowl,” located in the center of the park is a great place to play fetch.

Pops Playground Dog Park – For Fishtown dog owners, a great dog park to visit is Pop’s Dog Space, located at Hazard and Collins Streets. The park has a shady space where dogs will get plenty of play and exercise time. Pop’s is a private member’s only park instead of a public place, so be sure to apply for a membership by clicking here.

Wissahickon Valley Park and Beach – Nothing is better than a dip in the Wissahickon Creek during a hot summer day. Located along Kitchen Lane in Wissahickon Park, this beached area features a wooded hiking path as well. Dogs must be kept on six-foot leashes.

In our series Where to buy real estate in 2013, I review up and coming neighborhoods where great deals are still easy to find. So I wanted to update a neighborhood that was up and coming 10 years ago, but is very established now, Fairmount/Art Museum.

This neighborhood divided from Center City by the Vine Street Expressway was not too long ago home to the best priced Philadelphia real estate near downtown. Once a Whole Foods opened, a Philadelphia Sport’s Club and a Starbucks right in the heart of it, it formally arrived and so did the increase in prices, nearly doubling per square foot in only a few years.  Additionally, it had an amazing neighborhood association that helped and continues to help neighborhood residents.

The Fairmount Community Development Corp. has been dedicated to making the Fairmount neighborhood and surrounding areas grow for the past decade. Their efforts of developing many projects and cultivating local commercial growth have paid off well and Fairmount is thriving.

One of the ways the Fairmount CDC is involving residents in the development plans is to hold a session of town-hall meetings to hear their opinions. The meetings will be held at Bache-Martin School at 22^nd and Brown Streets on October 6 at 10am and Fairmount Civic Association at the Philadelphia Mennonite High School at 860 North 24^th Street on October 25 at 7pm.

Over the past three years, the Fairmount CDC has invested about $30,000 to make small improvements to homes that run between Poplar Street and Girard Avenue and 20^th Street and Fairmount Park. Their goal is to improve the aesthetics and physical environment of the neighborhood and to increase the worth of the Philadelphia real estate market within the neighborhood.

If you happen to buy a home in any up and coming Philadelphia neighborhood be sure to join and volunteer in your neighborhood association. It may just help your investment get a greater return!

The neighborhood offers a plethora of housing opportunities, from chic lofts to cozy houses, as well as plenty of nightlife and dining options.

This residential neighborhood features gorgeous turn-of-the-century architecture, tree-lined streets, and affordable housing opportunities.  It is also home to the most sought after public elementary school in the city, Meredith Public School.
