I'd just recommend learning the neighborhoods before moving to the city. They each have their own vibe and some can be dicier than others.

Depending on your job location, I would second this. If you have the ability to work hybrid or remote check out Manayunk, wynnewood, and Brynn Marr area. All different vibes but highly rated.
