I can give a little background info on a couple towns listed above. I am originally from the Venango County area. I have family in Oilcity and Venus. I atteneded the Cranberry Schools there. Oilcity is a dying town and so many drugs there it is crazy. If you go out towards the Seneca, Cranberry Area, it is really building up. Lots of buildings and businesses moving in there. Not sure what the school is like anymore, but 3 of my nephews go there. I lived in venango county till I was around 23.
As far as the Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Duncansville Area, I currently live in the Hollidaysburg Area. My son's attend School here. My youngest son's school is the biggest of 4 elementary schools and has around 700 kids from grades k-6. My oldest is in the junior high and has around 900 students in grades 7-9. I know our kids are about 2 years ahead of the tyrone school district in what they are learning in school, and we have a fabulous music department. Both duncansville and hollidaysburg are pretty quiet cities and all kids from these 2 towns go to hollidaysburg schools. Altoona itself has alot of drugs and lately alot of drive by shootings. There is also alot of stores opening up in logan township which is on the outskirts of altoona. We just got a boscovs, michaels, ****'s sporting goods, Kohl's, and we have a border books coming in also, along with a bunch of other stores. I'm not to sure about the schools in altoona. Hope this gives some of you a look into the areas listed a bit. |

I grew up in the Latrobe Area, my husband and I recently moved to Ligonier a few years ago. This is a great little town and it only takes us 10 to 15 minutes to get to restaurants/shopping. The scenery is beautiful and the people are friendly. It is such a small town and it is untouched by large companys. It is like stepping back into time. It is great for families. Idlewild park is in my back yard. I love the area. It is a great place to raise a family or retire

I grew up just outside of Scranton; Ligonier just sounds like it might be a cool place to live. "course, I am pronouncing it "lig-gone-ear". Down here, if you live in NC it's "Bow-fort" (Beaufort);in SC, it's Be-you-fert" (Beaufort)

Lived in central PA, the Hershey area, very nice. Also lived in Chester county. Very rural but loved West Chester and Kennet Square. All three good for me.

we are also looking to move to pa specifically hazleton. I heard the city itself was not so hot to live in but the surrounding towns were great. We lived in the Lower Macungie area around Allentown and HATED it! People were stuck up, neighbors didnt talk to you and there was generally a keep to yourself kind of weird attitude. We DO NOT want this again! My kids HATED it! We want friendly, stereotypical can I borrow a cup of sugar nice american town. Any good opinions about the Hazleton area. We have a 14 and 11 year old and 22 month old twins. I am a stay at home mom and want a good old fashioned friendly town to live in.
