Any good places to raise a happy family?

Question

What are the best cities to raise a family? I mean a safe, comfortable and friendly environment for not too much money. I also want to stay semi-close to my family. Not half an hour drive, but not plane ride, either. They live in North Eastern Pennsylvania.

Where are some good places?

Are there any good websites about good cities raising a family or anything like that?

Answer 1

i have an awesome place for you but it's kinda far from where u live, It's in Columbia, Maryland. maybe some money, but the rest is perfect, good schools, perfect environment, and i guess it's semi-close to your family.  

Answer 2

I grew up in West Virginia, and had a wonderful childhood.

Answer 3

I looked up the 50 best places to raise a family.

Two were mentioned in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh was rated number 5 best place and Erie, PA was rated number 29.

Some others listed not to far from Pennsylvania are:  Steuberville, Ohio Number 13

         Glen Falls, NY number 16

          Monmouth, NJ number 23

          Wilmington - Newark, Del/MD number 27

           Lima, Ohio number 39

The top two places are in Wisconsin

     Number 1 - Sheboygan, WI

     Number 2 - Kenosha, WI

Hope this helps
