PA looks pretty appetizing. More space, I can have a gun at home, I can ride a quad on my property, I can still visit family in jersey or go to concerts in New York. But friends who live there say the cost of living is climbing as well

You and I are very, very different people.

It is. The parts bordering nj in the Philly metro really aren’t much cheaper these days.

Yeah Bucks County is at least as expensive as the nicer parts of Mercer County. But have fun on your quad with your gun I guess?

Depends on where you live. I actually live in PA now, but grew up in Jersey. I live in the Lehigh Valley and rent prices here rival that of New York. One bedroom apartments here are going for around $1,500-$2,000 depending on where you live. Prices are really climbing quickly. Housing prices are also skyrocketing.

My uncle purchased a two bedroom home for $75,000 back in 2012 and now that same home is valued around $250,000. Needless to say he’s thinking about selling and moving somewhere else.
