What to know about moving in Allentown
The cost of living in Allentown is 6% higher than the national average, according to Payscale; so a full-service move likely costs close to the national average of $9,060. Of course, the price definitely fluctuates depending on how many boxes and pieces of furniture you have and how far you’re traveling.
A moving truck or moving van rental typically costs somewhere between $120-$4,000 (depending on how far you’re driving, and the size of your rental). In Allentown, if you move somewhere under 100 miles away, you can expect a moving truck to cost around $170 (the national average for a local move). Just don’t forget about extra costs like mileage, gas, car towing, and insurance.
In Pennsylvania, the average cost of utilities (including electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, trash, internet, phone, and streaming services) is $394.41. For context, Hawaii has the most expensive average utility bill at $611.87, and Utah is the least expensive at $344.93. Keep these costs in mind when looking at your monthly rent or mortgage payment.
Allentown is located about 78 miles west of New York City and 62 miles north of Philadelphia. This makes it a great place to live for people looking to get out of a big city while still having the option to visit NYC or Philadelphia often. With a population of 125,944 as of the last U.S. census, Allentown is the third-largest city in Pennsylvania.
