Description
Welcome to 2556 S Robinson St, a recently renovated duplex in Southwest Philadelphia near S 62nd St and Buist Ave. This is a great opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors seeking cash flow and long-term growth in an emerging neighborhood. The first-floor unit is a spacious one-bedroom apartment currently occupied by a tenant on a month-to-month lease at $1,000 per month. The tenant can remain or vacate, offering flexibility for a new owner. This unit features a large living room, updated kitchen, full bathroom with washer/dryer hookups, and a comfortable bedroom with ample closet space. It also includes access to a private fenced backyard and a full basement for additional storage. The second-floor unit is rented for $1,100 per month to a reliable tenant with a lease in place through June 2026. The tenant has expressed interest in renewing. This unit features an open-concept kitchen and living area, two spacious bedrooms, an updated bathroom, washer/dryer hookups, and a large private deck ideal for outdoor enjoyment. The entire property is all-electric, so tenants are responsible only for electricity and water, simplifying utility management. The location offers quick access to Center City in under 20 minutes and is close to several public transportation options. With continued investment and development in the area, this property is well-positioned for appreciation. First-time homebuyers may benefit from programs such as PHFA, NACA, the Philadelphia Home Fund, and the Home Access Center—we can connect you with experienced lenders familiar with these programs.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
