In this episode of Broker’s Blueprint, Martino Picariello and Chris Terrio dive into the under-the-radar neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and real estate pockets that are quietly shaping the future of Philadelphia.
From bachelor party stories in Charleston to overlooked corridors in Fishtown and Francisville, the guys explore what makes a neighborhood truly desirable—and why some Philly markets are still sitting on untapped potential.
Inside the episode:
The hidden commercial corridors that drive neighborhood value—and why areas like Ridge Avenue and Point Breeze Ave still struggle to attract anchor businesses.
The overlooked charm (and potential upside) of Bella Vista, Queen Village, and Packer Park for investors and families alike.
Why South Philly remains a powerhouse of accessibility, community, and walkability.
Real talk on zoning, development pain points, and why Philly’s tax structure keeps holding back national brands and commercial anchors.
Martino and Chris's personal takes on their favorite Philly streets, neighborhoods for first-timers, and how the upcoming World Cup will force Philly to level up—or fall behind.
Whether you’re a broker, investor, or just Philly-curious, this episode is packed with on-the-ground insights into the city’s next wave of opportunity—and the urban pain points that still need fixing.
🎧 Listen now to discover the hidden Philly most people overlook.
