Another option is to look for homes near Pottsville and Southern Schuylkill County, real estate is still dirt cheap and you can get to the northern side of Reading in 30 minutes.

I grew up in Morgantown, just south of Reading, and now live up here so I'm familiar with both sides. Give some more details and I can make some better recommendations. Family? Kids? What do you want to do when you're not working?

If you need temporary housing in Morgantown (week to week room rental) I may be able to help you out.
