I currently live and work in the city, and I can't stand it. I'm looking to move somewhere out in the country that's a lot cheaper. Prefer to rent a mobile home or an RV, the further out in the sticks the better. My credit is really bad, so I'm looking for someone that would accept 3 or 4 months up front (plus deposit). Problem is I don't know any of the areas around the city so I'm not sure where to start. I was looking a bit in Washington county but it seems all the drilling has raised the rent quite a bit. Most places I've found on Craigslist where advertising for almost 300$ a week. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to look? Thanks a bunch.

Edit: I'm looking for something super cheap, close to 400$ a month with utilities, or at least some utilities.

Buy an old rv, you can probably find one for what you will pay in deposit, get a steam cleaner and a rug Dr from home depot and spend a weekend defunking the thing. Use ALOT of bleach and pinesol. I am sure you can find a trail or slot for 300 a month somewhere. I know you can even find some as close as west Mifflin. I was homeless for awhile after high school, an old rv would be a dream.

there is a small mobile home park in moon twp on flaugherty run road that may be an option. There are several more out in beaver county that are more in the sticks like you mention. Most mobile home park owners will strike a deal for you to buy a trailer from them ( typically need a good bit of work) and then just pay the lot rent. Around 300-400 is typical with water sometimes included.

Last I checked Pine Top Estates in Bunola, PA had $200 lot rent but then there's $200 trailer rent on top of that but they do include water, sewage and trash.

Going north two hours will put you almost up to Clarion. There are plenty of cheap rents, and not just for mobile homes, up that way.


Look in and around Clarion, Brookville, Corsica, Knox, Shippenville, Strattenville, New Bethlehem.
