Look at the property taxes and multiply that by 3.5.........Look if your looking for a modest priced home the taxes might be a deal breaker.

I have a few friends in Penn Estates and they do not have any problems there. Taxes are a bit on the higher side and there are community dues. One friend has had a problem with someone taking something out of her car. I think it was an ipod but she left her doors unlocked and its a crime of opportunity. If you make things easy for someone to take your stuff they will take it. I lock everything but its natural to me I came from a place where you lock your stuff up and don't make things easy for anyone. Probably some kids walking by took it. I think you can find a deal and will be happy there. I am up in Tobyhanna in Pocono Country Place. I know you hear the stories about up here but I have to say I love it and have had no problems. Things are always getting better as the time goes by and we have great neighbors and they really keep the roads and facilities updated. I saw a house the other day move in condition for $20,000 4 bedroom 2 bath. Explore and buy where it works for you. Good Luck...
