Moving to Duncansville with kids -good idea?

Alright, I'm a teacher here and You can expect to pay around $824 for rent here. Household incomes average around $58,828 in Duncansville. The median home value here is around $132,000, which is actually reasonable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 8 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into running, this place is surprisingly good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
