i dont live there but im close. manayunk has a good bar scene, parking is an f'ing biotch (dont have a nice car itll get banged up. almost no off street parking and very narrow streets) and its expensive. other than that its a fun place to go out. i would recommend living outside of manayunk like roxborough or places like that. car scence is good i guess considering its huge in montgomery county which is north and has a decent one in delaware county which is south

Do yourself a favor and find a place with a driveway or garage.

I just moved to Manayunk about a week ago. I have my M3 in town and yah, it'll get bumped front and rear I'm sure... such is "City life" it seems. I love it here though already. Parking sucks, but if you can deal with that it's worth it!

Wherever you parallel park it's possible.
