I AM looking for accurate information on which towns match my interests and which don't. I have heard alot of good things about west chester eventhough it is a little further out from philly than I'd like. I'll also check out Conshohocken, I didnt find too many apartments there doing a quick online search though.

Any other suggestions?

Maybe try craigslist and apartment.com And I'm not exaggerating when I tell you you may sit in traffic for 20 minutes to get from one exit on 202 to the next during the northbound morning rush. My wife has given up on taking that portion of 202 due the current construction that was leaving her sitting in traffic forever.

You can also try Eagleville, Jeffersonville, West Norriton or Audobon for places that are near King of Prussia. 10-15 minutes. Cheaper then Conshoshocken, and sill only 15 mintues to Conshi. (back roads to Conshi). Conshi is a little overpiced but better for single people, unless you want to spend that much. Kingswood in KOP is nice or the Lafayette at Valley Forge, but some are 6-8 stories if you are scared of heights.

kplm...I have lived in both k of p and conshohocken...both are great communities. K of P is very close to Valley Forge park...great place to run, bike, walk. Plenty of shopping at the mall...good restaurants. The commute into Philly on 76 is about 30 minutes (off peak ). Conshohocken is fun and is a great walking community with some restaurants and bars along the main street (Fayette ST.) Conshohocken is only about 10 minutes from K of P. Good luck!!!

HI
I grew up in King of Prussia and Love the town. Rentals are expensive but the town has everything to offer. Great parks and easy access to wherever you wish to go (city, mountains,shore...) Conshohocken is a great singles town and the college neighbors around me have all bought property there and love it. It is close to K of P and the bike trail from valley forge park to Philadelphia runs directly through it. I really think you would be happy in either location. If you by, taxes are lower in k of P than almost anywhere else in the surrounding area.
Good luck and I look forward to you enjoying your move to my favorite place in the world!!

I live in Bridgeport which is right next too King of Prussia (K of P). Its a boro so the housing is more dense with street parking ... than K of P but its a great little town to get to know folks. We just move here last year and really love it. I've been helping someone find an appartment here and we've found one bedroom places for $700 and the house across the street has a 3 br apartment for $1200.

The Parks & Rec department of Upper Merion runs all sort of community sports programs in King of Prussia if thats your thing ... I'm part of another group that just plays volleyball and badminton here. K of P & Bridgeport are right next to valley Forge park which is nice and we go kayaking & fishing on the river... plus you got the Bike trail that runs from north of valley forge all the way into the city ... so I think you'll find a ton to do here besides the mall and places to eat out.

Yes 76 can be a real pain at time - can take an hour or more to get into the city but there are some alternative routes to like 23 or Ridge pike that can save you when there is a major traffic jam. I work from home now but used to drive into the city all the time.

Maybe that gives you some insight.
