My sister is thinking of moving there, but is not sure of where to go. She has young kids, so a nice town with good schools is a must. Thanks!!!

My good friend moved to PA about 10 years ago. She is near the Poconos - Albrightsville. She is looking now in Cresco (near where some new casinos are being built). Many people go to East Stroudsburg - there is a college there ESU.

I lived in Chester County for some years...
It is located SW of Phili, and the southern end boarders on Delaware.

West Chester is the county seat, and there is a university there as well (WCU).

It is just off the MAIN LINE, a bit past the King of Prussia Mall.

Im not really sure if that helps, b/c PA is a big state :)

I have family that live in Monmouth county. It is pretty expensive there I think. She is trying for a house in the 200,000 to 300,000 range.

Bergen county is expensive, however some areas in Central jersey tend to be more affordable.......if she is on a tight budget south jersey is much cheaper

i was born and raised in NJ Chat Icon i grew up in south jersey... in lumberton. ( burlington county). its a GREAT area! there have been a bunch of new developements built in the passsed few years, so there are a lot of young families, and the schools are really good. its near a lot of shopping in cherry hill and marlton, and also only about 20 minutes from philly. really nice area to raise a family in Chat Icon
NOW, i live up in north jersey- morris county. its more expensive up in north jersey, though. i live in rockaway right now. its a great town as well. a nice big mall/shopping area right here, and really good schools ( i work in the schools Chat Icon ). its also only about 40 minutes from NYC. other nice towns in the area are denville, randolph, parsippany.
i personally like south jersey better-lol- and its more affordable. we live up north because DH has a job up here that he LOVES and really can't do anywhere else. but its not bad up here, either Chat Icon
as far as PA- my best friend lives in bloomsburg, and she seems happy there- they have just started building some more stores and stuff, and theres a nice downtown area. bloomsburg university is there, so there are a lot of young people who graduate from there and stay there to start their families. VERY cheap to live in PA, too.
