About Bella Vista
This is 'South Philly' living at its finest with nationally known cheesesteak founders Pat's and Geno's located nearby. In terms of feel, Bella Vista is much quieter and more residential than Center City but does not offer the same type of nightlife options.

Super walkable and family friendly. Awesome restaurants
I love Bella Vista and have lived in two buildings in the area. Parts of the neighborhood can feel unsafe at night, but it changes every few blocks. There are a lot of restaurants in the area, and I like that it's close to both Center City and East Passyunk, so there are lots of options of things to do. It's a quieter neighborhood that Center City, with mostly families and young people in townhouses/brownstones, rather than high rises.
Up and coming
Slowly gentrifying with young professional couples
Ten min walk to Center City but much more quiet and residential

Fantastic walkability to great items in the Avenue of the Arts, Broad Street, Washington Square west area.
Pros: quiet; clean; safe; quiet; many nearby grocery stores, restaurants, etc; close to the homiest part of South Street- grocery stores, banks, restaurants, coffee shops; very close to Broad Street Line
Cons: distance from campus
Cons: distance from campus
close to work, safe area, not a lot of street noise, close to two grocery stores, far from downtown, good cost of living, not a lot of nearby shops.
Bella Vista is a family-friendly neighborhood, often described as a “tourist neighborhood” by locals, as it is situated between South Street and the Italian Market. It is full of murals, mosaics, and activities. It is a very safe neighborhood full of friendly people who look out for each other & include neighbors in events. It is a half hour walk from Center City, but conveniently located public transportation give residents the ability to travel across the entire city.
Bella Vista offers a number of options for getting to the office depending on how late you're running. Ubers/cabs get you door-to-door in about 5 minutes, Indego bikes take about 12 mins, walking to the Ellsworth/Federal subway and taking the BSL takes about 20 minutes, and walking takes about 30 minutes.
The immediate neighborhood provides the best Vietnamese, Italian, and Mexican food in the city and it's about a 10 minute walk south to finer dining on Passyunk Ave.
I generally feel pretty safe in the area during the day, although Washington Ave itself can feel very big and dark at night. I've never had any issues or incidents, however.
