Question regarding rentals: do the standard patterns around rental seasons apply? I was hoping to move this summer and looking for places, and not seeing a whole lot of rentals available for then that aren't targeting towards college kids.

In particular I'm looking for 2 and 3BRs. Seems in particular the only postings I see as far out as August are studios and 1BRs. Not sure if the market is just that slim or I'm just preparing too early.

That's interesting. I'm still very skeptical though, because the only time I hear about people that live in Philly travelling to KOP to do shopping, is when I read an article or reddit thread on the topic of the new rail line. I don't know any friend or coworker that does their shopping by travelling to suburbs. Everyone orders online. I've lived in Philadelphia for 7 years. I've never been to KOP to my knowledge, and doubt I'd ever want to go there ever in my lifetime.

And I've never heard anyone describe KOP as a tourist draw before. Tourists from where? I'm really curious because most people have never heard of KOP unless you're from this region.
