I woke up today excited about the prospect of going to Queen Village and learning as much as I can about this fabulous section of Philadelphia. I arrived around 12:30 pm and previewed some houses. It's been awhile since I have previewed real estate and I underestimated how many houses I could see in an hour. Normally, I show properties to buyers and don't previw on my own. Next week I know I will see more homes for sale.
I looked at 4 properties and really liked two of them. My favorite was the Trinity on 3rd Street. I am not sure I would ever live in a Trinity, but I love looking at them...so quaint. After previewing, I spent the next hour or so driving up and down the streets of Queen Village. It is wonderfully diverse.
I ended up at Red Hook Coffee and Tea, which is a great little coffee shop on Fabric Row. I enjoyed a latte, met the barista named Mackenzie, and passed the time setting up this blog. A great start to a great journey...plus I learned the word barista as I googled for local coffee shops. Shout out to Mackenzie. Thanks for a great cup of coffee!
A blog dedicated to the happenings of the oldest neighborhood in Philadelphia. Rich with history, Queen Village has some of the most interesting Real Estate, People, and Cultures in Philadelphia. We at the Tim Bathurst Team look forward to sharing our experiences in this constant changing neighborhood with you.

Discovering Queen Village
In an effort to create more business for my Real Estate Career and just have fun hanging out in a cool part of town, I dedicated myself to discovering as much about the Queen Village section of Philadelphia as possible. This blog is created to journal my experiences in Queen Village. Each Wednesday afternoon, I will visit this fabulous section of the city. I will preview houses, hangout at local hotspots and enjoy meeting the people who live and work there.
