Mrs. Otter-pop and I are moving to eastern PA, looking for advice on a place to live. Somewhere between Allentown and Philadelphia would be ideal. Prefer somewhat rural/ small town that still has stuff to do, "Main Street" area. We are planning a trip on the first week in Dec and intend to stay in Doylestown. I am an electrician by trade and would like any info in that area as well.
So, where might we look for a nice, quiet place to make a home in eastern PA, please? Thanks. ETA: Will post this in GD also. ETA: small town that still has stuff to do, "Main Street" area. |

Depends what kind of electrician and what type of work you want. 30-45 minutes from Phila toward chester/lancaster/berks county is nice (Morgantown, Honey Brook, Elverson, Pottstown, etc area. Don't live in Reading itself but the area around it is nice. suburban/rural/small town type area.) . 10-15 minutes from allentown is nice, farther away gets more rural and less job prospects, but you should be good as a skilled tradesman (Hamburg and points further west. Tamaqua and points north. Both roughly 20-30 minutes from Allentown).
I am not big on city areas, but there are nice urban areas surrounding Phila and allentown. They also have the ghetto/crime areas. |
