Matamoras

Current Resident: I love this town! It's a beautiful, little town with lots of availability of resources in close range. The school, hospital, price chopper, walmart, bank, and all kinds of needs are very close. It is a great place to live with amazing neighbors and friendly people. A public playground donated by the citizens of this town is one of my siblings' favorite places to go. My family always goes on saturdays for my brother's football game and I get to play with my younger siblings at the playground. It is useful for the whole family. Highly recommended to live here!

Milford

• Town in Pennsylvania
• 18

Current Resident: Milford, Pennsylvania is the perfect quaint, family friendly, historic town. There is no shortage of delicious eateries to go to, beautiful Victorian buildings to gaze at, shops of every kind to walk through, art galleries to observe in, museums to visit, and fascinating people to meet. Because of its charming nature, Milford has gotten many tourists from New York City, across the country, and Europe for about 100 years. As I am a person who is into the arts and history, I could not have had a better experience given the opportunities Milford has given me, and the people in it who got me where I am today.

Pine Ridge

• Town in Pennsylvania
• 5

Niche User: If I could do it all over I would definitely live here again! I've spent half of my life here and I think the only issue is that having a car to get around is absolutely necessary. As a teen, that limited freedom quite a bit and, during snow seasons, travel was the absolute last option. Otherwise, I really have no issue living here. Hiking is my favorite form of exercise and it's easy to find a place to do that here!

Birchwood Lakes

• Town in Pennsylvania

Niche User: Living in a rural location like this leads to many different advantages and disadvantages. It is very quiet and quaint. Neighbors are not very close in distance, but the general atmosphere is very inviting. I was would certainly live here again , however it would not always be my choice for what I want as a career. Compared to else where in the country, I would highly suggest to anyone looking for a nice, quiet area just outside of NYC and other larger population areas of PA, like the Delaware Water Gap or Scranton. The future is looking good for the area. Numerous strides have been made to better the area in education, government, and overall living conditions and accessibility.
