About Polk

Tucked away in northwestern Pennsylvania, the small 1,000-person town of Polk is part of Venango County. Due north of Pittsburgh, the town can be reached via the I-79 from the south or I-80 from the east and is only 78 miles from the steel capital. Due to Polk’s size, only a limited number of jobs are available, forcing the majority of residents of an apartment or home rental in Polk to commute to work, either 90 minutes to Pittsburgh or 80 minutes to Erie. Venango Regional Airport is a few miles east of Polk and offers a limited schedule of commercial flights. Located in a neighboring township, the Maurice K. Goddard State Park is a spectacular oasis and perfect retreat from urban life. Lake Willhelm, within the park, is a picturesque body of water suitable for swimming and boating. During the warmer months, the shores are usually crowded with residents of a Polk house or apartment for rent looking for a new tan or to cool off from the hot summer sun. Although shopping isn’t available in Polk, most residents travel to Mercer or Grove City, both of which offer an extensive range of shops and retailers. A little farther, Erie and Pittsburgh are home to many big-box retailers that often cost less for the same products.
