Northumberland

• Town in Pennsylvania
• 4

Current Resident: I've lived in Northumberland all my life. Our town and the city of Sunbury converged in the early 70's to form the school district of Shikellamy. To this day, there is still a feeling of Northumberland vs Sunbury. The people of Northumberland are proud of their Historic site of the Joseph Priestley House and their week long Pineknotter Days over the 4th of July. What people will tend to complain about is that there's not much exciting things to do around Northumberland. However, most residents enjoy this aspect of the town.

Turbot Township

• Town in Pennsylvania
• 1

Current Resident: It’s small and quiet. It’s a wonderful place to raise children, although there isn’t much to do. It’s a place where pretty much everyone knows everyone and the friends you make will last you a life time. It’s a conservative, majority white area, though the political views are probably 40 percent liberal, 60 percent conservative. It’s writhing 30 minuets of a great deal of stores and activities that are fun for the whole family. It’s also a great place to raise a family if you value being outdoors and allowing your children to play without the need for 24/7 supervision.

Mount Carmel

• Town in Pennsylvania
• 12

Current Resident: Mount Carmel like any town has its flaws, there is not much here in terms of activities, night life, or restaurants. But it has access within a half hour to 40 minutes to several towns that offer it. Mount Carmel is a sweet little coal town that is a quiet place to raise a family, and have a starting point for first time home buyers to get their foot in the market at a reasonable cost. Out of many towns I've lived in PA, it is a good place to start.
