State College/Bellefonte Gals :) Need Help!
DH just found out that he'll be relocating for work in 3-4 weeks to the SC area. EEK! We live in southern MD, and though we share a border - I know NOTHING about your state! I'm having trouble finding rental websites (we're only going to be there 18 months +/-). Any suggestions of areas to focus on/refrain from would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Re: State College/Bellefonte Gals :) Need Help!
My husband and I have been in SC for 10 years this summer, and really enjoy the area. We've lived in nearly every neighborhood (we're perma-renters!) and some are better than others, for simple proximity to shopping and as the other person said, to stay away from students/parties/etc.
We have had good luck using craigslist.org, but of course be careful - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I rented from Park Forest Enterprises (www.rentpfe.com) and they're a trustworthy rental agency, and I believe they'll even do month-to-month leases. Before we married, my husband rented from Stone Glenn apartments - it's about 10 minutes outside downtown State College, but it's very secure, private, and has a lot of amenities making it one of the nicer complexes in town.
State College is a lovely area; very family oriented and friendly. I hope you and your husband enjoy it as much as we do!
I will agree with all the advice you have been given so far...if you have a rental that you are interested in, you could link it here and I could give you some feed back...
(At one time I was a student, then a volunteer firefighter in this area, now just a transplanted "local"...so I may be able to give you some insight...)
On another note -- I'm glad to see some state college girls here-- I don't know if I ever saw any others!
I don't know if this is way late to respond or if you will still check (I haven't been around much latley). I would say if you are going to look in State College make sure the landlords/rental agency knows you aren't students. DH and I had a townhouse through Associated Reality, who a lot of people don't like but we didn't have any problems with them, and I think at first they thought we were students and when they figured out we were out of school/working they were a lot nicer.
Bellefonte is a lot less expensive then State College, you can get a lot more for your money. There is also Boalsburg which is nice.
I grew up in State College and live in Bellefonte now so if you have any questions I would be happy to help.
