I like many things about my move from NYC to Tannersville, PA. The country view and the open roads are GREAT. The cost of living here is lower than the city and there is more space.

However this has the RE value down 50% as to what they were just a decade ago when the economy was better and the Poconos was a bedroom community of the NY metro area for many people.
Except for the poor conditions of the states roads, this pace is a nice area to live. Vary beautiful with trees all over and lovely ridge and valley topography abound along with lots of wild
