I bought a 3 br house in Port Allegany for $40,000. And that was because we got tired of renting a house for $500/month.

We have since moved, but Hazel Hurst/Smethport/Port has got to be among the cheapest places.

Lived in Smethport on and off for a bit when my parents lived there. It is cheap but away from basically everything except state parks.

I loved Smethport’s “Mansion District” because you could get a sweet house for practically nothing.

But yeah, if you don’t like hiking/geocaching/cows, it’s a rough haul. We moved when we had our son so we could be near stuff.

Can confirm, if you can stick it getting a house in the PA wilds is sometimes cheaper than rent and you end up actually owning something worth money.
