Passyunk Square: Home prices up, but still modest

Michele DiVeterano's enthusiasm for Passyunk Square is remarkable when you consider what life has been like since she bought her two-story, one-bedroom rowhouse in the 1400 block of Clarion Street 21/2 years ago.

700 block of Sears Street is a nice little side street and a pocket park, Paolone Park.  TOWN BY TOWN. This week: Passyunk Square, from Washington to Tasker and Sixth to Broad, is a melting pot anchored by a traditional Italian neighborhood but with a big helping of Southeast Asian and Mexican in the mix. At 8th Street, you see Termini's Bakery on one corner and a Mexican bicycle repair shop on the opposite one. We talk to all groups about how this affects real estate values and look at some infill construction.
Please shoot before Friday, Feb. 8, and shoot for both print and photo gallery, please. House for sale 1157 S.
