Edwardsville Apartments for Rent

Settle In, Dig In, Move In...To Edwardsville

A long time had passed since Edwardville's founding and its actual incorporation. Over a hundred years in fact. From the time of white-wig-wearing Ben Franklin types to the cowboy era, that's how long. Not that this neck of the proverbial woods, being in the northeast and all, was ever keen on cowboys, but you catch our meaning.

Edwardsville is primarily a residential place, with nary a concern for office parks, outlet stores, or landmarks of the Field of Dreams (by the way, it's been sold) and Mt. Rushmore type to bring home the revenue generatin' bacon. Be that as it may, Edwardsville does the residential thing and it does it well, all things considered. With a population of less than 5k and only 1.2 square miles, it's truly the little borough that could.

This northern Pennsylvania destination puts it simply. Like, really simply: ""Edwardsville is a wonderful place to live, shop, and visit.""

Ok, So How Much Will It Cost Me?

An apartment? Well that depends. What is it you need and want, or want and need? A fixer upper, so you can add your own unique, if not professionally certified touch? How about something more newish? Don't worry, we gotcha covered.

Edwardsville: Keepin' It Simple

We once believed that a borough was restricted to something found only in the New York City area. We were wrong. Judging by the word's definition, ""a self-governing incorporated town,"" there's no reason why many a town in, say, Montana couldn't be considered a borough too. Oh well, we suppose that's just the way the cookie of American history has heretofore crumbled.

Now, don't be put off by the limited images of Edwardsville on offer via the interwebs. We're certain there's more to be observed once you set foot in the place. It's not like the entire city is comprised of a junior rank star chamber. In fact here's a picture of an Edwardsville house of worship for your eyes to kneel before.

We're not gonna lie. Judging from the town's stats this borough's seen better days. Or maybe it hasn't. Maybe it's never even been close to a diamond in the rough, much less a diamond. When compared to Pennsylvania at large Edwardsvillle's got some ways to go to achieve socioeconomic parity with its Keystone State neighbors. But at the risk of sounding glib, we encourage you to look at the bright side: cheaper rentals.

Folks 'round these parts shop at Turkey Hill, Redners Market, and Price Chopper, likely home of more coupon carrying patrons than anywhere else in America. Their webpage is proof. Really, if anybody is set to win the award for ""Best Use Of Coupons As Graphic Design Novelty,"" it's Price Chopper.

Some other outlets for frugal living and working class consumption habits include Deb Shops, Family Dollar Store, and Ames Department Store. No, Edwardsville is not playing with financial fire here. There are no massive movie megaplexes nor malls with glass elevators, but come on, it's not like those things are any big shakes. Just ask this guy.

Edwardsville And Nearby: What To Do?

Ok, so Edwardsville proper is lacking on stuff to do, at least officially. But hey, nobody's stopping you from playing catch, running in place, fashioning arrowheads, or cow tipping, though we suspect you didn't come to us for such mundane solutions to common boredom.

Actually that arrowhead idea is kind of cool

One thing Edwardsville's got going for it is its proximity to the splendid wilderness of northeastern Pennsylvania. The Northeast PA Kayak School knows this. It has a fairly clear mission, easily deduced from its very namesake, and that is to teach your how to kayak. Fear not the prospect that your boating partner will royally screw up, because thankfully kayaking is a solo endeavor. There appears to be a long list of events on the horizon sponsored by these folks, so make sure to literally get into gear lest you arrive unprepared and unready for action.

The opportunity for outdoor adventure continues with the help of this site whipped up by the Pennsylvania Campground Owners Association. Under their gentle tutelage you can locate the perfect place to pitch the proverbial tent in PA and never look back!

Oh wait, there was actually no reason to say ""proverbial,"" because you'd literally be pitching a tent. Forgive us, we sometimes stumble over our not-so-clever use of quasi-idioms.
