Pennsylvania – Allentown

Our first entry is Allentown! Together with their amazing historical sites that have remained the same and preserved for hundreds of years, this town has a lot of character, and you will definitely not find one moment dull.

Allentown is also a short drive away from New York and Philadelphia, so you do not have to worry about access to an airport or anything of the sort. You will be away from the hustle and bustle of a big city but close enough to have access to other important avenues that a big city offers.

Otherwise, Allentown has multiple concert halls and theaters, as well as a bustling museum scene, so you will have a lot of things to do and explore. The only drawback would be the quite high cost of living per person, which rises to about $2,169 a month, out of which about $1,500 would be just rent and utilities. If you are moving with a spouse, however, these costs may end up being lower per person!
