Moving to PA

Hannah and I are looking to move to PA August 1st. We are both going to be working from home so saying on taxs is the plan. We are open to pretty much anywhere in PA but would like to stay east of Harrisburg. If you guys know of anything or have suggestions let me know! I'm glad we're staying around here and not going to FL. Although FL isnt 100% out yet with Hannah.

I vote for State College PA. I moved here from Long Island back in 2004. Definitely THE coolest spot to live in PA. Surrounded by a bunch of state forests with legal drivable trails. Camping, fishing, hunting, hiking ... you name it its here. We're one of the only towns with a free gun range too. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks!

I will take that as my office, tow disco, and go wheeling every single day. A true expedition rig.

42 days $990? am I reading this correctly? lol

$990 isnt bad.. you do have to buy your own food though.

Yea but I'm going to guess food is pretty cheap there

i dunno, they are all starving to death.

I looked it up - food prices are moderate in Africa. Cheaper than the UK, which isnt saying much.

i couldnt afford shit when i was in the UK.. but at that time the exchange was 2/1 and they were all flooding to NY to do their christmas shopping because it was as cheap as a third world country.

Yea thats crazy. Hannah lived there and the main reason she left was cost of living.

I have lived in Lebanon, Dauphin and now Lancaster County, PA. I like Lancaster County a lot. I live in Elizabethtown (5 miles from Trevor). It is 20 minutes to Hbg, York and Lancaster City.

If I could live any where in PA it would probably be near Woolrich/Lock Haven. A lot of beautiful areas up there and cheap land.

Give me a holler if you need any info or directions. You'll be all around my neck of the woods. I'll be wrenching on the rover after I get home from work tomorrow morning.

PM'd my cell phone number.

i like the one in airville and the last one. the one in airville is just an awesome space and the last one has the nice pot belly stove for heat.

I'm here if you need any help while you're in the area. I know house hunting is a busy time. Top LR mechanic in town too (Trevor)!

I like them both too. And the Dallastown place but it looks small. We will see another concern is living somewhere that has a good internet connection.

Dave - we can go to Rausch Creek every weekend now lol

You have to watch the per capita taxes too. They vary GREATLY from town to town. They are $500 or so in some areas and $15 in others (per person/year).
