I'm considering relocating to PA, or MD, or GA and don't know much about the regions. I live in MA and wife wants to move the family a little more south. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a town in which the houses are affordable as in $200,000 with at least an acre.. also this town needs to be no more the 45 minutes away from affluent communities aka million dollar homes also with plenty of new construction that is actually selling. I'd like to live in a town with a good school system and little to no crime... haha is this possible? are there places out there? Let me know what you know.. THANK YOU

I would recommend living in Berks or Lancaster county and working in the Philly suburbs, especially Chester county (lots of expensive new construction).

If GA is an option for you, I would consider Kennesaw area. I moved here a year ago from Berks CO. PA and can not stress enough how much happier I am since making the move. The people here are so nice, I dont have kids, but I heard the school system is great, very little crime, so many things to do. As far as new construction aka million dollar homes, I dont know much about that, but compared to Berks Co. there are def. more developments and bigger homes being built. I love it here, but on the downside traffic is a problem and well I want to move closer to the beach, so yet another journey begins.

Berks county Pa:
rude people lots of crime
expensive housing
dirty, cold, and smells kinda bad too.
On a good note:
great food
lots of older historic homes
traffic not so bad
