south Jersey
Have you considered south Jersey? You can take the train from Cherry Hill (site of old race track) into 30th St station in Phila. The schools are excellent and very college prep - check the school reports. Shopping is easy, community activities are plentiful, and it is simple to get to Phila for diner, theater, etc. I can get you housing info if you are interested.

Only PA area that I can think of to suggest for your price range would be Blue Bell or Lansdale. Train commute might be a bit longer than 30min. but you could find some townhome options there.
Otherwise, check South Jersey.

The 30-minute commute is your speedbump in PA. Housing developments within that distance have been around a long time. This is an old, old developed area.
Very rarely can you find a new development in Bucks or Montco within a 30 minute commute at any price that is close to your range. Chester County should be out for you as it is more than a 30-min commute.
If your heart's set on PA, and you're willing to live in an older house, then try lower Bucks. Langhorne may be an option.

Most of the shipping and freight companies can handle large and small pieces of furniture and tend to be competitivley priced. You can search for them through Google by typing freight shipping or furniture shippers in the search bar. Very convenient and hassle free on your end.
