Sadly school and property taxes make this place next to impossible at the average local earnings rate.
Supposedly PA has a ancient two tear tax structure that makes a few communities/areas tax poor. And the way things are voted on in the capitol by the legislatures, this system will never change thus locals are forced to individually vote with their feet and just move out. 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 life.
