I’ll be real with you, rural PA is a bit sketch. Lots of extreme far right politics (look up the republican governor candidate that just lost, barely), some drugs (not weed, stuff like meth and heroin), general economic decay (“rust belt”) and the issues that come along with it.

Ever heard of the term Pennsyltucky? It really be like that.

You’re not going to be in any kind of desirable area for less than $1,000/month.

If you’re open to a roommate, bucks and montgomery counties might be more of what you’re looking for! Not cheap, tho.

If not, you might be able to find a cheaper studio or basement apartment in the $1,200 range but it’ll need to be through word of mouth so join some local FB pages and start asking!
