Good is for who can see it.

I went to visit and almost purchased a home there but the home had a problem, doesn't mean that I will not go back, I really don't understand why so much bad talk about this little town when homes are selling like hot cakes, go and check in any real estate app and see for yourself, I just want a place to live in peace and without so much people and 0 drama, I purchased a home in the city but I'll check Shamokin back later, all I can tell people who own homes there, like the old saying goes ,you don't know what you've until is gone, I travel all over the USA and abroad and all you find is craziness, in Shamokin I felt like I could escape all of

Shamokin
Decades past its prime with no real future.
- 8/2/2020
Shamokin, PA is an old coal town that's multiple decades past its prime. The area is growing with dilapidated and unsafe buildings while the city is bankrupt, unable to afford to keep the city clean.
Housing is inexpensive, but the majority of said housing need repairs. When you see the median housing average is "$32,000", that's for a townhouse that needs major renovations, has old wiring, uses newspapers for insulation in walls, has a very small yard (if any), etc... If you want a "move in ready" single house that needs little to no work, the market is well above what is considered reasonable for the area.
Renting is nearly non-existent in the area.
The job market is absurd as any type of career, outside of healthcare and retail sales. There is no booming job market within a 40 minute drive that will bring college graduates, or even experienced professionals, in. By "40 minute drive", I don't mean stuck in traffic for 80% of the commute.
