Brace yourself for a wealth of enticing features that make Erie a dream destination for individuals and families alike.
🏡 Affordable Housing:
Finding affordable housing in today's market is a daunting task, especially for hardworking individuals and families. However, Erie offers a refreshing alternative. According to a report published by the National Association of Realtors and Realtor.com, a staggering 51% of earners nationwide make $75,000 or less, with only 23% of available home listings deemed affordable for these households. In larger cities, this drops to a mere 5% to 10%. Erie, on the other hand, boasts an average home price of only $165,000, making it an affordable haven for homebuyers.
🚦 No Traffic Headaches:
Bid farewell to the daily grind of traffic jams and endless commutes! Erie offers a refreshing change with very low traffic problems and short commutes to everything. Navigating the city is a breeze, and you'll never have to worry about finding parking-abundant, cheap, or even free parking spaces are aplenty.
⚓ Erie is a Port City:
Imagine waking up to the serenity of a picturesque port city, nestled on the shores of Lake Erie. Erie, PA is exactly that! This stunning location is home to the awe-inspiring Presque Isle State Park, boasting 11+ sandy beaches, boat ramps, hiking trails, and a 13.5-mile bike and rollerblading trail. Our beautiful large bay is perfect for sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, and fishing. Speaking of fishing, Lake Erie offers some of the best sport fishing in the country, with world-class opportunities to catch steelhead, smallmouth bass, and walleye.
💧 Abundant Fresh Water Supply:
Water scarcity is a growing concern worldwide, but not in Erie, PA. While regions across the US face drought and diminishing water supplies, Erie boasts an abundant, clean, and affordable drinking water system. Our public water is crystal clear, free from discoloration or odor, and can be enjoyed straight from the tap. Lake Erie, the fourth-largest lake in North America, holds a staggering 110 cubic miles of water, ensuring a reliable supply for generations to come.
🌍 Climate Resilient:
When it comes to climate change resilience, Erie is at the forefront. Researchers have identified much of the northeast United States, particularly cities surrounding Erie, as the most resistant to the effects of climate change. While other regions battle hurricanes, mudslides, drought, flooding, and wildfires, Erie remains a safe haven for those seeking a stable and secure environment.

Interesting. Because as an Erie resident, when I hear the words "Erie" and "moving" in the same sentence, the person is usually almost always talking about moving OUT.
I lived here for 25 plus years…. Everything Joe is saying is true…BUT….the winter is absolutely brutal and that is honestly why I don’t really miss it there
That tower on that pier was where I tried to propose to my fiancée, after we had dined at Smuggler's Wharf (that place with the vines all over it). However, it was the middle of November, and it was cold as hell! Instead of going up there, we went to the museum where they were doing a presentation about the sunken boats in Erie. After all that fun, we went home and I just popped the question when we got home, hah.
Erie is pretty good. It's easy to get tripped up on the doom and gloom, but Erie really is "what if a quite small town was actually a really big city?", and there is definitely an appeal to that.
Best thing I ever did was buy property in Erie and plan my way out of Tacoma. :) Excited for my move.
I was also born and rasie in erie,pa and I love living here the winters can suck but if you can put up with the winters you'll love it as over road truck driver I been to many places and always nice to be back home in erie
You listed that home for 185,000 perhaps, but it sold for $196,000. Additionally, that's in the city itself, which is the only area in the county that has more than 10 homes for sale under $200,000. There are 25 total homes for sale under $200,000 in the entirety of Erie County currently, excluding the city. As of 2021 the median household income for Erie County was $40k according to US Census. It would be a struggle to make a mortgage over $120k with that kind of income. There are about 70 homes in all of Erie County that meet that criteria. There are more homes for sale over $250,000 in Erie County than below $150,000, much less budgetable at 40k a year. Not to mention the majority of homes for sale in the city proper are in relatively high crime areas, and the schools are under performing at all grade levels. Oh, and at 7% interest, that 170k home will end up costing half a million.
lol , well played sir, well played indeed
I’m kind of partial to Watertown, NY because they get even more snow than you do.
Great video Joe... makes me wanna go!
According to National Geographic the peninsula is one of the top fifty birding sites in the world.
Erie was amazing in the 70s when I was a girl! Best schools in the nation ( elementary, middle and highschool)
In South Florida now🌴 when parents moved here in 79. God bless. Erie stays with you. Very special.
Great place to buy a home Erie pa that why lots people's buying home
Climate is resilient and VERY COLD.
If you think Erie is "cold", I'm glad you don't live in Fargo, North Dakota. 😂
@@mayavenuemisfit814 Right. Home of Roger Maris, who should be HOF.
There's a big argument for internet workers to move to places like Erie. But the high-paying jobs and amenities just aren't there.
I'll agree with you about the jobs. But the amenities, that's arguable. Erie does have most of the things that the bigger cities have.
Sold!....thank you!
Seriously?
Liked the video, and living here most of my life with only a couple years of living in Florida, I just wanted to say Erie has some negative aspects as well, but everyplace does, so did Florida. I use to be one of those people who said can't, wait to move away from Erie, then after a couple years in Florida seen some really negative things there, don't get me wrong there is a good side to Florida, but bugs, gators, and snakes were not on the good list. I've been to many larger cities and seen curbside parking where the cars were parked so tight I had to wonder how they get them in an out with their bumpers nearly touching while parked. Most cities I have been to, I have liked many aspects of them, but still would not want to live in them. You touched on many positives of Erie but there are so many more, which would make the video far to long if you tried to include them all. We have water parks a, a nice zoo, amusement park, city events and free summer concerts. I also like the area shops on Federal Hill, or Hippie Hill like I call it. PS: Just realized I left out so many more positive things about here, but my post is already to long. to list more.
I agree with you
Man sure loves the Bayfront lol and the cove
Traffic gets pretty bad on peach and state. Homes are becoming more expensive and less work being done on them.
Average wage $10hr.
Gas is highly priced, it's cheaper in Ohio and New York.
The lake is often riddled with bateria and get closed off temporarily.
Crime & Dugs
Homelessness still escalating downtown.
Public schools have many issues.
Roads usually take a while to get fixed, if at all.
It's far from perfect, it's cheaper than some areas.
Lots of friendly people.
Going on a boat on the lake is a fun pastime.
Great library.
Lot's of claimable benefits.
Small enough town to not be costly for transportation.
Free trolley.
One unique thing to note- the mall is shaped like a gun, pointing at city hall.
Remember who owns it..
The mall reference...hahaha
These videos have been super informative thanks bunches
Come on with all this positive, u have to add the negative. Yes EVERYTHING about the lake is true, but u forgot to mention it causes lake effect snow, brutal winters and horrible springtime because if ice on the lake. Pittsburgh will be 61* Erie will be 42*. Yes u get alot if home for the price but its because people make 30k a yr where most everywhere else is 50k
Try finding a home in Florida with a basement but Florida has warm winters and no State Income tax along with no annual car inspections.
Five Reasons Erie, PA is NOT the #1 city...SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!
Plenty of parking, no traffic jams. Sound like no one lives there or there is nowhere to drive. Lol
Don't tell people! They'll just ruin it.
Need more tower building
You need more in population in order to have traffic.
We visited last August and just got home.No traffic jams hmmmmmm .
Just out of curiosity, were you anywhere near Peach Street around 5:00 on a Friday or Saturday evening?
In Erie, a "Peach Jam" is not food...😂
Well, let's see. I have lived in Erie most of my 50+ years and I have a hard time agreeing with Joe (Don't know him personally). To me this ad seems like a pitch to the richer part of the CZcams audience. Your kids will get a pretty good education if you have the money to send them to a private or catholic school. For jobs, I would do some research into our jobs market. It's not the greatest in my opinion if you don't have a Bachelor’s degree or better. As for the water, I think Joe has a filtration system hidden in his house somewhere because my water always smells and tastes like chlorine and let's not forget about the algae blooms we get around Presque Isle Peninsula in most recent years that have prevented us from swimming. Crime. I would do your research in this area also. One site I visited said the rate was above the country's average per population. Oh, and let's not forget about the lake-effect snow (Sometimes state record breaking) we get. (Your gonna need a decent sized snow blower or multiple kids. Lol). Remember we don't call it "Dreary Erie" for no reason. I don't want to be negative but I would say do your homework.
Grew up there. Went to Grover Cleveland, Roosevelt + Strong Vincent. Had excellent teachers! ❤❤❤❤
I agree but when you look at other cities and compare the weather to Erie we have it made.
Never have hurricanes and rarely a tornado or hail just a long cold winter.
In the 70's Erie was a very well balanced manufacturing town and when you lose that you will see a decline in any city.
Thanks so much for telling the truth!
@jeffsterrett2123 Sorry for the late response. My comment wasn't about the teachers it was about the curriculum. I went to Catholic schools for most of my education until my junior year. When I was switched to public school, I was way ahead of what they were teaching. But I'm glad you had great teachers. Everyone needs those.
@Rick-tb4so Was that in defense of Erie? Because I'm not sure it was. LOL. Look, I don't hate Erie. I just think it could do a lot better. I wish it would. I remember a comment Barry Grossman said in the paper years ago. "Everybody is waiting for the next International Paper plant, I'm waiting for the next Splash Lagoon." The long-running rumor is that they want to turn Erie into a tourist trap. For what? Maybe 3-4 months out of the year? With low wages? But like I said. I don't hate Erie. I just wish it would do better. And the "Rare tornado and hail" comment had me rolling. 🤣
lol absolutely no mention of winter. i guess this video is for retirees who live in florida half the year
Check out how nice the police are 😅
You get what you pay for.
Erie has been a democratic run city all my 70 years that I’ve lived here and poverty is an issue along with nightly shootings in certain areas by certain groups, also we have to fly out of either Cleveland, Pittsburg or Buffalo as air service is currently limited and more expensive. Erie is transitioning away from manufacturing and flip flooping along investing in tourism for the last 60 years as the replacement, however , IMO , the trajectory of our country, with “15 minitute cities” social credit scores, digital currency, UBI income, a looming national debt crisis, all cast a dark cloud on that..remember who said “you will own nothing and eat zee bugs” …isnt that the direction we have been driven for the last 60 years?
Not only that our hospital can only do so much, if you have a problem they can’t take care of, they force you to go to Pittsburgh.
@@zenithfox04 Yes, and I should know that because i have to drive to Buffalo NY for my speaking device replacement at Roswell cancer center ever six months because none of our hospitals have that type of service.
The first half of your comment is valid. But the second half… huh?
We moved to Erie because we wanted to be near the Lake and we expected to like the weather here. However I was surprised when you said there was no traffic problem here. We sold our house on Davisson because the traffic noise became unbearable. Now we are living in an apartment temporarily till we find a house. The apartment happens to be near Peach St. The traffic here is unbearable.
We are considering moving into the country. Corry, PA. is one place we are considering and we are keeping our eyes open for a property that is available there.
Yes the Peninsula is great but getting to it is difficult for us. We have lived in Erie for about three years and we have been to the Peninsula only three times. The traffic down the hill is horrid. We have tried to walk or bicycle down to the bike trails but the traffic made this impossible. What is the point of all the bicycle trails on the Peninsula if you cannot ride your bicycle to the trails?
All the shopping is on Peach St. and Peach St is a miserable place which everybody hates. Yes we really like the weather here compared to Richmond, VA but the things we had expected to enjoy here are not possible.
Eva
Move a little East of Erie, PA to Northeast, PA! ....wonderful area.
Corry isn't a bad place, but it's really far from Peach Street and any other amenities in the Erie area. That area of Erie County is about as isolated from the rest of Erie County as you can get. As the person above me said, North East is a decent place to live and it's a lot closer to the things and places you would want to see and do. Peach Street and the mall are only about 4-5 exits west on I-90. You're also in the heart of Wine Country and extremely close to the lake as well. My wife's family is from Corry and I have lots of friends in North East, so I'm very well familiar with both of them. Neither one are really bad choices, but if I had to pick between the two I would pick NE all day, hands down.
And Joe... no traffic problem in Erie? I'm glad you don't play for the Eastern League champion SeaWolves, because that was a swing and a miss, my friend. 😂
Why have I not ridden on the scallywag yet?
Because you don't visit you uncle often enough.
Scallywag looks fun
Yeah it is, if you're a Trumper.
I just saw a video where the cops there falsely arrested a dude and then beat the crap out of him in the jail and then pushed him out the door. Sounds amazing…
Last time I was at the library it was full of all the homeless people sleeping at the all tables and it smelled really awful and did not feel safe at all.
Is this during winter or year round?
@@jamesballard6564 I was there during March and it was very sad
There are tons of jobs in the medical field, education field, the service industry in banking, insurance, real estate, and the trades. I can't get a plumber or an electrician to do any work for weeks. Every contractor in town is looking help. Every restaurant in town is paying good wages and can't find enough halp. There is so much work available in Erie but no enough workers. Every business in Erie is hiring. Stop crying over how manufacturing has left Erie. Get over it Brah!
Appreciate post info
Good wages? Waitresses make $2.83/hr plus tips. Minimum wage is still $7.25/hr after many years. As a result, "good" jobs pay 10 or 12 an hour. Education? Teachers start at $24,000/ yr. Over 60% of Erie residents live below the poverty level. General Electric was the biggest and best employer, but moved most of their operations to Texas, a "right to work" state, where they have the right work for less than half the union wage.
Must I go on?
"Get over it, brah" should replace "We Love Erie!" as our city slogan. 😂
The mistake on the lake. Eerie
Sorry, that title has already been taken by Cleveland😄
Uh. No Joe.
Don’t bring Pittsburgh into this 🙃😂
Grew up in Erie, I get it. Hahaha ❤
No it’s not 😅😅😅
Dude. You are a world-class jacka** for this video. Good luck convincing people that the job opportunities are abundant in Erie lol. Ya.......jobs for brokies who want work for garbage pay. Those are the job opportunities folks. Gotta love how he tries to sell us on cheap parking rates. LOL. I'm sure everyone is packing their bags right now to hurry up there and start a life bro! If you believe this guy then you deserve what you have coming to you.
Bull… upper peach street is a freaking parking lot…👎oh yeah I forgot to mention your property Tav is ridiculous…sorry…👎…….
By the way This an Easy Cheap Type Of Commercial….
Where are you going to work? All the industry left
There are scads of hospitals, Dr's offices, universities, colleges, restaurants, hotels that are always looking for workers. Plus, the high demand for teachers and child care workers.
@@teresatestrake4639 Dr's offices ,restaurants, hotels don't pay what manufacturing did.
When they passed NAFTA our good paying jobs went to Mexico...
I just saw on the news today that they voted against the new business park out in Fairview, so that's even less new jobs coming to Erie.
Meanwhile, an hour away in Youngstown, they're building a brand new $7.4 million polymer and research development facility that is sure to create dozens of jobs and new tax revenue for that region.
@@teresatestrake4639 most of which are low paying jobs compared to manufacturing...
@@mayavenuemisfit814 Youngstown isn't any better they have a drug problem.
Miserable horrible people if I could afford it I would leave and never turn back
Ron DeSantis 👿
My God ..Biden voters HERE no doubt!!!! Erie just ranked 164 for affordability on the nation out of 203.
