That depends (highly) on how you'd like to live... A two bedroom at that price is (more than likely) not going to be in the best neighborhood. what are you looking for besides two bedrooms? if yo want to live in relative comfort and safety you're going to have to up that to around 800 to 1000... I'd look on the outskirts, the immediate suburbs if you're willing to pay more.

Double bedrooms in King of Prussia (about 20 mins away from downtown) is ~$900-$1000.

I could put a temporary divider across my studio and tell you it's 2 bedroom for $600.

$550-$650 for two-bedroom is VERY optimistic.
Unless you mean you are splitting the cost between 2 or more people and are looking to pay that much EACH....then you're talking.

That's pretty cheap. i'm in the dorms at drexel, moving to an apartment next year, unless you want to be in the ghetto of north philyl I would plan on paying at least a grand.
