Clarks Summit job market vs New York

Hi all, The unemployment rate is 1.2%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $236,900, which is actually reasonable. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Pine Hills. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in consulting you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like BBQ.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
