Money Magazine's Annual Top 100 Places to Live is now Top 100 Places to Live and Launch a business.
Bethlehem PA was ranked #58 in the USA and was the highest PA city on the list. They call it a "Business-friendly environment in a university town".
They note: "Low real estate prices (the median home price hovers around $160,000) make it a popular bedroom community for the larger cities, but also an advantageous spot to launch. Hiking and biking trails wind through several parks, and the Lehigh River provides opportunities for boating and fishing."
Speaking from experience, homes under $250,000 are plentiful and sell pretty quickly without much discounting. There is a limited selections of homes in Bethlehem over $400,000 at this time (people who live there never leave until they really leave!) but if you have patience, flexibility, and a good agent you should be able to find something.
