As I’ve gotten older I understand why 99% of my friends stayed in Pennsylvania PA smokes every other state in terms of walkable urbanism. It’s dotted with beautiful, cozy walkable towns like Doylestown, New Hope, Lititz, Lancaster, Germantown, Jim Thorpe. One of the only states where you can afford a home on an acre or 2 and be within range of several major cities, beaches, mountains. The people yearn for a Main Street town, especially in a country choking on decades of car-centric urban development and suburbia purgatory. Combine all this with a reasonable cost of living, northeast corridor location, heavy tree cover, 4 seasons, etc there’s a lot to love about PA. I’m not surprised real estate has continued to appreciate while FL/TX/Sun Belt markets have contracted. Not sure if I will ever move back but I hold my home state close to my heart, shout out Bucks County <3
