Pottsville, PA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $39,154 and a median rent of $720, the Pottsville, PA rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Pottsville, PA. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

6 Reasons to Love Pottsville, PA

A rich history! Aside from the historic Yuengling brewing complex -- which you can still tour for free most days of the week -- Pottsville features a number of buildings that are on the National Register of Historic Places. Notable among these is the John O'Hara house, which was home to the noted author.

Single-family living! Over 72 percent of the housing units in Pottsville are single-family detached units, rowhomes, or semi-detached units. In neighborhoods like Yorkville and Mount Hope, these properties are very common, although you may still find an apartment building or apartment complex mixed in.

Lots of green space! Pottsville is sandwiched between a number of parks and game lands. Locust Lake and Tuscarora State Parks are nearby for boating, fishing, and hiking. There are some great state game lands for hunting, trapping, or just spotting animals -- just make sure to wear your orange.

Stick-to-your-ribs fare! The coal country is known for hefty, hearty fare. Grab dinner and drinks at the Maroons Sports Bar and Grill -- named after the Pottsville Maroons, one of the early National Football League teams -- or check out modernist fare downtown at The Greystone. If you want a beer, just ask for a "lager." A true Pennsylvanian will know exactly what you are asking for.

Renter-friendly! With 38.4 percent of the housing units being renter-occupied, and a median monthly rent of only $460, Pottsville is very friendly to renters. Complexes like Heritage Heights are great for folks who only want to rent, and there are plenty of property groups that can help find a place for someone looking for a rent to own house in the Bunker Hill or Lawton's Hill areas.

Growing the arts community! Studios and galleries are sprouting up, making the arts accessible to anyone who wants to learn -- Mud and Maker is constantly offering workshops for potential potters of all ages. Springtime brings the annual Block of Art festival, turning shops and indoor spaces into a gallery walk featuring local and regional artists.
