The 10 Best Places To Live In Pennsylvania - Job, Retire, & Family - Around The World

- Pennsylvania, a northeastern U.S. state and one of the 13 original colonies, has a diverse terrain, which includes wide stretches of farmland,
national forests, and mountains. Philadelphia, the Keystone State’s largest city, displays its rich history in Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, an enduring symbol of American freedom.
Pennsylvania is downright beautiful. It is home to some of the country’s richest history, incredible culture and, yes, a picturesque scenery.
The Appalachian Mountains sit here, and the state has more than 120 state parks, with over 100 miles of coastline, and a varied selection of great towns and cities,
each with its own character.
Mountain climbers will love this state, so will surfers, skydivers, and skiers even, depending on where you are in the state.
Little wonder the Keystone State is widely considered one of the best states to retire.
The natural allure aside, this is a notion mostly driven by other key factors for anyone interested in the hard data:
economic vibrancy (this is the sixth-largest state economy), good health care, school districts that are a cut above the other states, affordability, low rate of homelessness and high quality of life.
Here then, are the 10 best places to live in Pennsylvania to help inform your decision better.
10. Philadelphia. (good to retire, find a job, and raise a family)
9. Pittsburgh. (affordable place to retire, job, raise a family)
8. Scranton. (place for jobs)
7. Allentown. (good for retirees)
6. York.
5. Lancaster. (best place to retire)
4. Reading.
3. Harrisburg. (best place to retire, find a job)
2. Erie. (affordable city for retirees, young professionals)
1. Jefferson Hills. (best place to raise a family)

As someone who has lived nearly my entire life in PA, these are not the best places to live. This video maker simply picked out the largest cities / towns and decided to make a video calling them the "best.' I honestly doubt this person has even been to PA. There are many great places to live in PA, but these aren't it.
Can you recommend

@@karikling7268 that was a DEAD giveaway! Even before I became a PA resident, I knew how to pronounce Lancaster's name.
summit hill is in carbon county is a great small town to live in.saying, that Pittsburgh Allentown Philadelphia or York or Reading are good places to live is simply a lie
Do you know what’s to live in Scranton?
I live in Philadelphia and have lived just outside of Reading. Whoever made this must be on drugs.
Thanks you
Then why do you still live there Karen... Lmao
I live in the suburbs of Reading and can’t believe we made the list! Lol 😳
I'm from reading... this guy is drunk lol
I've lived in both of those places to .this is ridiculous. The place by reading was pottsville. Reading is a garbage town. Bad as allentown
They should rename this video to “Top ten places to live in PA, if your a meth addict”
hahahahaha
Is anyone else from PA laughing at this list.... PA is a nice state and I am glad I live here but the list is so off. There are some really nice small towns in PA
They literally listed the worst places to live in pa I swear
The state of Pennsylvania has some very beautiful areas outside of the cities they listed. You really have to tour PA. I think everyone could find a place where they could be satisfied. There is no where that is going to satisfy everyone.
Those aren't cities
Reading LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I live about midway between the Philly, Allentown and Reading triangle...I couldn't belive ANY of those 3 places were on this list! There are SO MANY beautiful small towns in PA. The people who made this list know nothing about PA.
This list bears no resemblance with reality.
First, in PA we have a saying about York. "Come for the crack, stay because you're dead." York is a dump.
Reading is even worse, being one of the most dangerous places in the entire northeast. A rust belted former industrial city, it is the east coasts Detroit.
Lancaster honestly used to be nice, but all those rolling hills of agriculture are being paved over, and cost of living and crime have soared in the past decade.
Harrisburg, the capital, is to my knowledge the only state capital in which you can be mugged on the stairs of the capital building in broad daylight. Enough said.
Philadelphia is a pretty standard big American city. Expensive, dirty, and riddled with crime.
Erie is pretty, but it too is a rust belt city. Once your done at the lake you can get get drunk, because there's nothing else to do.
I've spent time all across Pennsylvania, and this guy has clearly never been there.
Pat Russo I couldn’t have said it any better. There way better towns in Pennsylvania that need to be on this list. Instead of these shitty towns.
I will have to agree with you on that.
Kristopher Haas hey brother what cities do you suggest moving there for a job kinda nervous about the move rn looking at the comments
I live in a small town in PA and I don't agree with this list at all. You can tell he has never been here. I mean really how would Philly ever make this list🤷♀️...It's dirty, not safe, expensive, the schools are terrible and the drug addiction is horrible. And our great Gov. Wolf won't do nothing to clean it up and help the homeless people or help the people who want to get clean. Parts of Philly is starting to look like a 3rd world country yet Gov. Wolf turns a blind eye away from it. 😡💯Facts
Amen!!
One of the worst lists I've ever heard
I was looking for an honest list. You simply listed large cities in Pa. Philly , Harrisburg , Allentown , Scranton are cities I know well. If you don't mind high crime rates , these are the perfect places to settle down.
bug 9523, what cities or towns would you recommend?????? Thank You in advance for your response.
“Reading has low crime rates”
*HA NO*
Yeahh they lied 😂
If you include all of Berks county it is low crime. He talked about the suburbs too, not just Reading city.
Just went there the other day and asked a security guard to watch me as I waited for my friend 😂 yeahh definitely nottt a nice place
He cannot even pronounce Lancaster' right.
I mean, what a joke.....literally the worst place to live in the state and has ridiculous crime rate
Most of these towns should be on the top ten list of places you don't want to live in PA! 😂
Yeah😂🤣🤣🤣
Factz
Agreed! I live near Pittsburgh and believe me, it is NOT the safest city in PA 🤔😂
Lol Michelle, I was going to say this guy clearly didn't make the distinction of "good" & "bad" places to live in each of these cities b/c you can obviously pick the worst part of each of these cities to live in and you could make it the 10 Worst Places to Live in PA. He could have specified outskirts or suburbs but then it would technically be a different town & zip code so I think he just got lazy. I think he meant just in the general vicinity of the area. Btw, where do you live?
York PA? Seriously? Don't even dare...the crime rate is insane. Who made this crap?
this list is TERRIBLE, over half the towns mentioned are dumps. Thinking you looked at the cost of living stats and ignored the quality of life aspects.
Agree!!
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
@@gabriellasolomon806 philly is the shitstain of the entire state
@@billw8476 lmao you some mountain man from pennsyltucky or something. philly aint perfect but we can still be proud of what weve done. it ahs some of the best and oldest hospitals, history, and that is something to definitely be proud of. hell most of the junkeis in the city come in from the suburbs and fuck everything up more
I live in Erie and have all my life. You can drive across the whole town in 15-20 minutes. Cost of living is low, and you can buy houses from $60K to $1M and most neighborhoods are decent. Inner city has its problems, so you’d want to stay away from there. The best thing is you’re 90 to 120 minutes away from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo if you want to get away and enjoy some big city entertainment. And you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced “lake effect snow”! Very rarely does snowfall shut down the city. Erie is transforming itself from industrial to commercial and tourism businesses. We’re in the middle of 1/2 a billion dollars of new construction. A great place to raise a family.
As someone from PA, I can safely say that everything on this list is backwards
I live in Pennsylvania. This list is not correct. Please please do your research. Thank you. Do you reside
The only correct one was Jefferson Hills 😂
I was born and lived in Pennsylvania. Planning on moving back, but not to those places.
Beavers fall?
I lived in Pennsylvania all of my life and know that this I far off the chart. It’s soooooo misleading
Very true Mona.. How sad.. Well said
As soon as I saw Philadelphia on the list, I was out.
Same as I di
For me, it was Scranton.
Soon as saw Pittsburgh on the list.....I was out.
it gets worse. jefferson hills was number one🤦🏻♂️ this list is dogshit
I live in Philly it’s actually not bad depending on the neighborhood , I live in a amazing part tbh
A friend of mine wanted to move to PA. So I recommended this video. Two weeks later he said I ruined his life and shot me. I write this from my coffin.
Lol. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
@@gabriellasolomon806 I live in York, Pa. I've been to old city in Philly a couple times to drink. Don't remember to much though. Lol
@@JD_Aguilar717 That's good. Can we talk on Google hangout?
@@gabriellasolomon806 Sure 🤷♂️
I audibly laughed when I saw scranton and reading pop up
Scranton is in the northeast, not the northwest.
Very true this narrator probably don't even know where PA is located lol
Scranton is a dump.
They went bankrupt.
I caught that right away. The list overall was poorly researched. And PA does have some really nice areas. But not within the city limits mentioned.
I am there now
I guess he was thinking of Erie as being in the NE.
This list is trash. Reading???
I used to live in reading born and raised there
It a pig pen now
I am originally from Allentown. I would not recommend moving there unless you are already familiar with the area. This is not a place for someone retiring if you want peace and quiet. It has become very expensive and if you think about purchasing residental property . Think twice. Most homes are very old and the city of Allentown has alot of rules and regulations (ordinances) that can make it difficult to rent your property and or sell it. I know from experience. Do your research prior to making a decision about moving to all the the places listed
Every place has good and bad parts no matter where you live.
Very true.. How sad.. Well said Ashlee
This list is a waste of time. Totally a lie.
Dude doesn't have a clue.
Agreed! What a wack job.
This video reminds me of the station you get when you turn on a hotel TV/
There are pretty rural areas and some nice college towns. Slippery Rock, Clarion, Indiana, Grove City, and some novel town names--Mars, Zelienople, Slatelick, Frogtown, the Ohiopyle area near the Youghiogheny River. One of the interesting things about western PA is the history of Native American regions that include the Seneca, Shawnee, Adena, Hopewell, Monongahela, with attractions like the Meadowcroft Rock Shelter, and the annual Pow Wow celebration in Dorseyville.
I've been to Ohiopyle and I know some people from Mars. Those are cool small towns. 🙂 I like Lancaster, though. I grew up there.
My grandmas cousin lives in York and from what I hear he loves it there but if there’s one place in Pennsylvania I want to live it has to be Gettysburg because it’s where some of my ancestors settled and fought for America in the civil war and i also want to live there because it’s a beautiful town with a lot of farms and log cabins and nice people and nice places to go hunting and camping
Wow. Are you even from pa? You've listed the most dangerous areas in pa for the best places to live. I'd never live in these places. The crime rates and highest poverty rate in these "best" place to live are the highest in pa.
Matrix Prison I thought this was irony lol... no Bethlehem? But Allentown and Reading are included 😅
No kidding! I live near Blue Mountain ( about 20 miles north of Allentown). That's the closest I will ever get to living in Allentown!
Matrix Prison lol when he went from Allentown to York I knew it was a downward spiral
Agree. I live in Lancaster and even though the county is beautiful and has a low crime rate, the city has a high crime rate. Lititz should be on the list.
The only correct one is Jefferson Hills 😂
Pennsylvania is so great I moved out and retired 3 years ago saving $ 6500.00 a year in property tax!
Where did you move to?
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
@@gabriellasolomon806 SOUTH JERSEY!🤦♂️
@@waltglow6396 Nice one, do you have Google Hangout?
Here are some actual good places to live in PA.
Bethlehem, PA- I go to college there. It very nice, clean, and busy. It's beautiful all year round, but especially in winter.
Milford, PA- There isn't much, but it's pretty here and lots of cute stores. There are a few historic buildings like Grey's Tower
Dingmans Ferry- lots of woods and places for hiking and fishing.
@ Milford is a town, Dingmans ferry is even next to it...
@ it’s only south Bethlehem that’s not as good. There’s good parts of Bethlehem
@ I’m probably staying in hellertown
@@jakeb8838 pembroke
Producers of this video need a seriously high dose of reality !
Reading ? It's the #1 stolen car Capitol of Pennsylvania!
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
Your nuts. This list is insane. Please for the love of god walk around these places before you just move. Reading and Scranton are big crime and drug areas now. It’s sad but not exactly on my top ten places in Pennsylvania.
It’s the same with Allentown. I know Allentown cops and I hear about all the shit they deal with
I lived in PA since birth and I will admit that Westmoreland County in Western PA (just outside of Pittsburgh) is a complete disaster as well (thanks opioid).
Very true.. How sad.. Well said Ashley
I was an announcer for about 40 years. One of the first things I learned when I moved to an out-of-state station was the necessity of learning how to pronounce names like a local. A mispronunciation immediately puts your cred into question. When doing VO scripts, I made sure how to pronounce a place or a person. When an announcer clearly "knows" how something is pronounced and thoroughly screws it up, voracity is questioned. It's LANK-es-ter. Other cities ARE indeed LAN-KAS-TER, but not the one in PA. And the Schuylkill, despite what it may look like, is SKOO(l)-kill. Thank god you didn't have to pronounce "Amish."
It's not SKOO-kill. It's SureKill.
@@oldcougar65 You listened to Famous 56, didn't you?
@@MsSoundguy I grew up listening to WIBG (WIBBAGE), the orignal rock station. My first summer vacation from college WFIL (560) changed to rock format and the war was on! So yes, I split my time between Famous 56 and WIBG. Great story: WIBG announced they were doing a countdown of the top 100 hits of alltime. Big mistake, they printed the list in the newspaper in advance. WFIL played every song on the list, but just before it was to go on WIBG. So if someone went from WFIL to WIBG, they would hear the same song. I laughed for a week.
Lived in Erie my whole life and happy to say there are a lot of positive changes happening the past 5 or so years.
That's great to know cos Im moving to Erie if I get that job.
This list should be called "Top 10 dumps in PA". Allentown resident out!
Why Allentown is worst ??
I also live in one of these cities having been to most. All are terrible.
Completely inaccurate !! Delete the video , i am living in PA .
It's so amazing how Pennsylvania on America's map, seems to be like a perfect rectangular shape, hanging on 🙂🤣😅😆
Correction: Scranton is not located in the Northwestern portion of PA. It is located in the Northeastern section of PA.
Whoever is responsible for this video has never lived in any of these towns, and much of the footage is not even from Pennsylvania, and some of it is from Europe.
Seems like a clickbait bullshit video to me. This list was bad and I don't think anyone who actually knows Pennsylvania will ever agree with this list.
@@pepsi5432 You are right, as an Allentown resident I’m shocked that they put PHILLY, in a best city list.
Love how you pronounced the rivers name in Reading. I'm almost 64, spent most of my life in the area and had no idea I was pronouncing it wrong. List was made by morons.
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
I spent my teenage years in Reading. Graduated from Exeter in '84, joined the Navy in '85 and never moved back.
The guy who made this list is a moron.
Noticed this only showed the downtown and well kept up areas and not the rundown, sometimes boarded up parts of downtown or the outer residential parts where crime is high and the drugs and gangs are plentiful. Lived here a lot of my life and so glad i live in a smaller town in the country away from big cities, away from most violent crime.
The north central boonies of PA was a great place to grow up back in the day, but getting out of there as a young adult many years ago was the best choice I ever made.
The way this list was going, I was let down when Chester wasn't #1
😆😆😆 I forgot about Chester...this is definitely a list of places you Do Not want to live 🤣
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
Lmaoooo
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
The way this guy said Schuylkill 😂😂😂😂 it’s “Skoo-KILL not Skoykull.
Exactly! And the way he pronounced Lancaster, it's obvious he isn't from Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania (especially Lancaster County) where treason, perjury and the deletion of video footage is legal in the court of law.
1) Scranton is not in northwestern PA; it's in northeastern PA.
2) No mention of the crime rate in the cities mentioned.
3) No mention of the drug problems that exist in the cities mentioned.
4) No mention of how bad the schools are in some of these places.
5) No mention of the unemployment rates or poverty levels most of these places.
6) I was born and raised in Erie, (which is northwestern PA). Good luck getting a job that will pay a livable wage if you go anywhere with the exception of Pittsburgh and Philly. Erie is definitely a retirement town. If you want a job in your actual career field, (outside of the ones mentioned), you'll need to move to a larger metro area or work remotely.
7) If you want to be informed on the best and worst places to live, watch Nick Johnson instead.
8) If you love meth, this is the perfect video for you.
Yikes! York should actually be in the top 10 WORST places to live! There are so many shootings and drugs it's alarming. The area generally just doesn't have much to offer. I live in a bordering county and if you live here you know lol.
I've lived in several of these towns over the years. None compares to Gettysburg. And there are dozens of towns better than most of those on your list. Wellsboro. Honesdale.Carlisle. Lewisburg. Lititz, Lots of beautiful towns but you chose some of our worst cities.
oldcougar65 honesdale should be on here
Gettysburg is nice. The battlefield is a great place to go.
I agree I been to many of the places on the list lived in Philly dump, live in Reading also a Dump only nice thing in the area was Blue Marsh Lake, visited Pittsburgh it wasn't to bad, Lancaster and York area not so bad but drug infested currently live in Lackawana County 25 mins south of Scranton North Pocono nice place, but the city not so great. There's really nice places in Central PA but no jobs.
@@herrrigean8316 I live in PA and Gettysburg is a nice place.👍
Honesdale should be on here true that.
As long as Wolfe is governor, the best thing to do is leave Pa , Philly #1 is laughable at best
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Exactly....nice words
Investing in crypto currency is one of the best chance of making money 💸
Crypto is the future 🚀
Buy gold and crypto
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
Honesdale, Wellsboro, New Hope, State College, Selinsgrove, Mt Gretna, Kempton, Mansfield, Coburn, and Coudersport, in no particular order.
I would definitely add these to my list!!!! Along with Hershey, Royersford, and Lititz! But I think this video was for bigger cities and not smaller towns. They should definitely make one for towns! I’ve seen a video of PA towns and a few of these were mentioned! Also, I LOVE New Hope! I grew up near there! Great town!
Selinsgrove is too expensive for what it is.
I spent a lot of time in Wellsboro when I was working in the oil field. Pretty nice place. Not much to do but it’s beautiful. We had 5 days straight where we were waiting around because pipe broke down hole so we spent a lot of time checking out the area, going to the bars and restaurants. I particularly liked your mamas mug bar and a place called Johnnys hot rod cafe. I think that was the name.
Jim Thorpe, PA
Yes Honesdale is a very good small town.Good people, job s and recreation.
I'm from Pennsylvania currently living in Philadelphia with family in the Lehigh Valley. please redo this list, these cities are not the top cities to live in Pennsylvania. Cities that are the best but not mention are Gladwyne pa, Villanova, Wayne, New Hope, Radnor, Center Valley, Hersey.
And most expensive.
I LIVE IN BETHLEHEM
My BROTHER!!!!
I was on the fence, especially after Scranton. Then the Reading bombshell🤷♂️. May as well give Kensington honorable mention smh
Hi my name is Obi Anthony. My team and I are looking a for a fixer upper house in any city in Pennsylvania to buy. Don't mind if it's beaten up. Please do you know of any one selling or have one that is for sale. Thanks and God bless
I was expecting to see State College on the list.
m8, you clearly know nothing about Pennsylvania. Lancaster is pronounced Lancister. Reading is one of the worst places to live. please research these places before saying that they’re the “best” to live in
Thank you
Thank you Very much!
Erie has a shit ton of drive by shootings. How can it be #2??
Lol!
Top ten place’s likely to get shot in pa and or be a victim of a crime
Not Reading PA! Noooooooooo nooooo 🤣🤣🤣
Yep im sick of the crime
Even though I live next to Reading I will still admit its dangerous
Very nice video👍 I knew this place as a smaller place. Greetings from Düsseldorf Germany. ❣️
There used to be good places in PA. Thanks to Gov. Wolf the entire place now sucks
Amen
We sucked before Tom Wolf
People loved Corbett's Pennsylvania so much that they voted him from office in a landslide. Seriously, we are a rust belt state, we are what we are.
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
I’ve went to school in Wilkes barre and it’s similar to Scranton and trust me it’s nothing but homeless and drug addicts😐 this list is very inaccurate
Thanks you
@Austin Hs - There are good & bad parts of every town/city there buddy. Sounds like you're just talking about the slums & bad parts.
@@bherber nah he's right. I live here. It's a trash town and everyone here will say it too.
@@cinsti1221able - Lol sounds like you live in a bad part. I lived close to Allentown most of my life, but not actually IN Allentown, then for the past 9 years I've lived near Harrisburg, but not IN Harrisburg. Coopersburg/Center Valley & Carlisle to be exact, but you still say Allentown area & Harrisburg area. I'd be willing to bet if I saw exactly where you lived in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area it'd be shitty, and that's probably why you're labeling the entire area as shitty. If you wanna say your neighborhood is shitty, that's fine, but to label the entire metropolis as shitty is just inaccurate.
@@bherber a lot of Wilkes-Barre is pretty sketchy, and there's very few decent areas
I'm sorry to say to this you all, but this is a very inaccurate video. Reading, PA has one of the highest crime and poverty rate out of the entire state (and country) and you are telling me it is in the "10 Best Places To Live in PA in 2020"? Same goes for many of the other large cities you have listed. Please don't listen to ridiculous list and do your research elsewhere if you are planing on moving to PA .
If you wanna move some where in PA, Go to Hershey. It’s great!
@@Spchlorgendy Good choice! I was very surprised Hershey was not on this insane list lol.
I don't know who the hell would want to live in Allentown or Reading.
I agree with you
lmao right, I live like 5 mins out of reading. the only good out of the city is the weed😂
Beau content..thanks for very luvly posting
And what do we learn watching this "10 Best Places" video and Nick Johnsons "10 Worst Places" videos about Pennsylvania, realizing most cities occured in both lists? Each medal has two sides.
Kayaking on the “Skuy-kull” river! Hahahahaha! You botched that word so bad dude! 🤣🤣🤣
This video of Pennsylvania is not correct I know because #1 I live in PA. If you want real details about Pennsylvania ask only people who live in PA or are born in PA for REAL Details about PENNSYLVANIA.
What places do you recommend? I would like to add a university from PA
This information is exactly the same stuff I used to shovel up at the barn thank you
As a former resident of Philadelphia for over 35 years...it shouldn't even be on the list.
“Lan-caster” get outta here with that 😂
LANG-kiss-ter
Steve Krein no your wrong it’s Lan-kiss-ter not Lang-kiss-ter
I read you comment just as he said Lan-caster
The n isn't pronounced the way the presenter said it. It's obvious he isn't from Pennsylvania.
Lancaster Pennsylvania Amish country nice area Lancaster City you basically have the same crime as Philadelphia a buddy of mine and I we drove through there back in the summer my buddy has a permit to carry he had his 44 fully loaded I was just passenger he told me where he has other clips if things go down we were just driving through total lawlessness people driving like crazy people having parties probably 50 to 100 people at a couple row houses didn't see one cop
I saw reading on the list and I thought hey! I’m from that area, maybe he knows something that I don’t. Nope. Reading is awful.
I agree that Scranton is a good safe place to live.I went to college there, and worked there some.
A great video, the content is excellent ! Greetings from Marbella Spain.
Content is 💯 false ! These cities are dirty, have crime and drug problems.
This list is definitely made by someone who knows nothing about PA. Reading!?!?! Really!?!? And it's pronounced Lang-kis-ter (Lancaster) 🤦🏼♀️
Lived in PA.....No one outside of PA pronounces it like that.
How the heck did York get on the list
SCRANTON!!!! 🤘☝ Where my people at!!! Don't be shy! We TH-cam famous!!
Thats the spirit
Que paisages
Tan Elegantes y amplios
Y Bueno para caminar y respirar aire puro
This video is a whole lie! I live in Philadelphia and where I live it cost $3,000+ for a fkn apartment! Where is that cheap in the country. Ijs. 😩
You talk about cheap living for Philadelphia a little above the national average a friend of mine had a apartment for 1375 a month that was in Bucks county 15 miles from Philadelphia I moved to York county I bought a house 1300 that's my mortgage for a half acre two-story house how is that justified when you are in a apartment you are basically living in a square box new land cannot do what you want and get charged more then what a house mortgage is outside of Philly immediate suburbs you are paying 10 to $15,000 a year for property tax how's that justified taxation without representation iPay 2800 in York county that's why I got out of Philly area if it was up to me I would move South my one cousin used to live in North Carolina property tax 500 a year.
Lol I wouldn’t wish living in Allentown on my worst enemy
can confirm.
Being a New Yorker who moved to Allentown. Excluding the inner city area, I love this place.
I live in the suburbs of Allentown. The smaller towns are real nice and plenty of things to do, nice area to live.
True
Honestly Chambersburg and surrounding areas is best because your within 2 hours of DC hour of Harrisburg , two hours of Baltimore, and get DC pay if you work for Government contacting companies!!
I agree, I lived in Chambersburg for 3 years and it was very peaceful and close enough to everywhere you needed to go. Nice place to raise a family. I work I Case Management and visited several other countries throughout the state and I have to say this list is very inaccurate.
I live in Chambersburg 😐 I love the area just HATE the people
Hi my name is Obi Anthony. My team and I are looking a for a fixer upper house in any city in Pennsylvania to buy. Don't mind if it's beaten up. Please do you know of any one selling or have one that is for sale. Thanks and God bless
I grew up in PA so these "lists" always grab my attention. At least 4 of the cities on this list (% if you count Wilkes Barre and Scranton as the same area) appear on the most recent "Top 10 worst places to live in PA" list I watched yesterday. I guess it depends on the criteria used, eh? I no longer live in PA but I have lots of family there and love going back.
I live in Denver PENNSYLVANIA , it's very silence very nice place , but now some. people from NEW YORK moved to my nice city , it's terrible it's like crazy people , we have to put fence ..
I love living in media pa Delaware county is such a nice place to live
Surprising he didnt mention media. Probably the best town in delco.
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
My favorite City ANYWHERE and also listed as the Best Small Town in America MANY TIMES!!
I live in Erie , love the beaches , hate the snow
Erie resident here too; snow sucks and the Sara's is the only good thing we have
I’m going to Mercyhurst university up in Erie
Us Pittsburghers always feel bad for yinz in the winter 😥
I'm happy to live in Pennsylvania ♥️
Yeah pa seems to be a nice middle state. You have access to beach in NJ if you are on the philly side I guess Erie has its lake, mountains, it gets cold but not that cold it gets hot but not that hot no hurracaines or earthquakes...
I plan on moving to Pennsylvania
The person who made this has definitely never been to PA lol
Should include Kensington! Lmao
I agree with everyone who's comments I read, 7th generation Lancasterian here. I absolutely love my State, but this guy should have titled his video the worst places to live in PA, especially for violent crime. My Husband is from York and every Saturday morning when we wake and turn the news on, we bet on which "local" municipality had the most shooting, stabbings, robberies, etc. Choices are always, York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Reading. Don't get me wrong there really are some good things about all these places, but you really need to spend some time acquainting yourself with just about every place he mentioned. This video could not even taken crime rates into consideration. Over the years, I have been through Watts in L.A., the Bronx, Camden and West Philly and West Baltimore and anymore we are just about as bad here now. Hell, Philly, Pittsburgh, Reading, Harrisburg and Allentown were all really bad forty years ago and they haven't improved at all, but Lancaster and York sure caught up since then. Take classes on situational awareness, take shooting classes, buy a weapon for personal protection, but also get a concealed carry permit and due you due diligence on the laws and regulations regarding self defense with deadly weapon. I also own some land in Sullivan County, the second least County in PA and you should probably pack a gun to go there or almost any northern tier county, just for the ears, the bobcats, and the copperheads.
We have so many beautiful, safe and quaint small towns and cities here in PA and this state truly is one of the most varied and beautiful states in America get out drive around vacation in PA I have been doing that a lot in the last ten years or so, it is my home and always will be. Drugs have pretty much destroyed most of this country, let alone a state so many of us love and call home. I am a bit concerned that this COVID-19 virus will really be setting us back with our economy here at a time when I believe that places he mentioned in this video were beginning to see some changes for the positive. I tend to be optimistic but always aware of situations and people around me, stay safe my fellow Pennsylvanians and get out into the countryside in PA and appreciate the natural beauty of this State and the majority of the good people trying to live their best lives.
To the gentleman who left nice remarks about Gettysburg, I loved day trips there so much as a kid, we sent our Daughter to college there and she loved her time in G-burg.
It IS WRONG to Compare ALMOST ALL this list to some place like the WATTS area of L.A. ! GET THIS RIGHT-- you ARE unfairly comparing apple to oranges!
WATTS is HORRIBLE, but that HAD to be the dumbest comparison! Try a REAL comparison like -- St. Augustine, FL. Austin. TX. Monterey, CA., Santa Cruz, ca, Bend, Ore. -- ANY one of those -- and you will NEVER, EVER step foot in the Pa. places you mentioned!
I live in the bronx I'm thinking about moving to pa where are best place in pa
@@natashaday3657 There isn't much, I know that won't make many people from PA. happy, but, its true!
MANY, MANY of theses people have not SPENT SIGNIFICANT --YEARS in places that have a VERY GOOD ECONOMY, they DON'T really know what that REALLY looks like!
Ask yourself what are the top 5 -7 things you want in a place you live!
Gettysburg is one of the few nice areas! IT still does NOT have what is a REAL robust economy, it is quiet and nice -- with TOURISM as the biggest draw-- that is it!
The WHOLE western side of PA. has very BAD weather-- maybe that does not matter to you! Pa. will give you 4 seasons, no matter where you go.
if you want warmer, on the coast with the beach -- HILTON HEAD, SC-- very good economy and great housing! Savannah, GA -- gorgeous! great weather very good economy!
St. Augustine, Fl. -- warm, very good economy!
So much depends on what you want! The ECONOMY AFFECTS SO MUCH, so pick well, PA. is an example of the whole state getting older and hardly any economic growth! Again, set some STANDARDS for yourself in what the AREA AND surrounding areas economy looks like, AND is there -- SUBSTANTIAL, ENOUGH BIGGER companies ( high tech preferably) in the area!
If you want something more quiet and retirement based, you still want nice weather --- ALL YEAR ROUND -- to get around!
What are your priorities?
Thank You so much
Born in York and lived here for the past 6 years. Seems pretty fine to me always gonna be good and bad parts lol
I don't think this was researched very well. Reading? Yes, the surrounding towns are nice but you don't want to be in the city.
This guy need his meds
I wouldn't mind living in Erie. I love the snow!
The funny is that I live in Lancaster since 2009❤
State College is one of the best places to live in PA! Nary a mention!
Hi neabor I am in bellefonte
I can't believe that was not on this list.🤷♀️ This list is BS. 💯😂
I've been to State College and it's such a nice atmosphere.
N
YES it is absolutely amazing there and I love to go there when I can
Did you guys ask the local Bureaus of Tourism and Commerce in these towns to write the script for this video? It's obvious that no one involved in this video has ever lived in PA or even been to any of these places. Anyone out there looking for real information about PA, should look somewhere else.
Love this state!
Nice video
York, my home town (born in 1942), I will not even drive through or into York.
True. I'm proud of my hometown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Where are you from?
My advice. Near the southern border away from the cities.
Or the northern border
