What part of PA do you prefer? How close to a city do you want to be?

I notice the different regions in PA, I am looking for the rolling hill country. The distance to a city doesn't matter as long as it is an extremly safe area!
thanks!

How small do you want? If you want a small town of about 7,000 residents, then I would suggest lovely victorian Bellefonte. Bellefonte is the county seat of Centre County, and is only 15 minutes away from State College, which has a borough population of about 40,000 and is home to Penn State. It's in a valley, with mountains surrounding it. Bellefonte is a rural town, yet offers good schools, even a newly renovated High School. Here are some helpful links:
Victorian Bellefonte
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
bellefonte.net - Home
http://www.discoverpa.blogspot.com/ (includes some great Bellefonte pictures)
Bellefonte Area School District, 318 North Allegheny Street, Bellefonte, PA 16823
Good luck! |

If you're interested in western PA, look at some of the small towns around Erie. Girard and Waterford in particular come to mind.

How about Saylorsburg? Rolling hills, (we even have a farm named Rolling Hills in the area) It is in the Pocono Region, but down off the mountain. Closest cities are Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Allentown & Wilkes-Barre. It is in the Pleasant Valley school district, and we have good schools. There are many similar towns around Saylorsburg, too, such as Brodheadsville, Effort, Kresgeville to name a few. Good Luck!
