commute time (Pottstown, King of Prussia, Butler: apartment, to rent, crime)

[XHollyX]

I have posted once before and had a few responses but I'm still having trouble finding an apartment. I would like to know what towns are near Conshohocken generally within 30 min and not high in crime with rent prices between 800-1200 (obviously if its not a bad neighborhood and its cheaper its ok to mention it too. I was looking at Pottstown, Phoniexville and Limerick but honestly I have no idea how far these places are and how bad of a commute they might be!

I'm getting incredibly frustrated looking anything helps. Thanks in advance.

Conshohocken, Plymouth Meeting, West Norriton, Blue Bell, Jeffersonville,

Why not just rent in Conshohocken and be done with it?

You can try Ambler too - it's a pretty straight shot down Butler Pike, maybe 15-20 minutes.

I agree with orrmobl -- you'd probably be better off renting in Conshohocken, if at all possible.

Pottstown and Limerick are definitely not close enough for a 30 min. commute. Phoenixville is doable, but it would be cutting it close.

In addition to the towns already suggested, King of Prussia is another possibility.

Conshohocken is really kind of pricey though. I just moved here not that long ago and I will be renting for the first time- so I may be ok to rent a house for like $1500 but I'd rather play it safe then struggle to make rent. I'll try some of the other ones mentioned.

Also when your looking for a place to rent what are the best sites? I've been looking on craigslist and they have a lot of ads but I was just looking for alternatives.

unless you have something against living in philadelphia county, how about roxborough?

what type of apartment are you looking for? i would think $800 - $1200 would get you something nice in conshohocken.
