Why Live in Cooper
The township of Cooper, located between Bloomsburg and Danville, Pennsylvania, suits buyers seeking proximity to both towns, as well as those who’d like to live in a rural area without being too far from shops and restaurants. It belongs to Montour County, a region along the Susquehanna River in Northeastern Pennsylvania. “This area of Pennsylvania has a healthy blend of old and new,” says resident Van Wagner. “By that, I mean there are still things that feel like 1950s small-town America while at the same time, our region is multicultural and ethnically diverse, thanks in part to employers like Geisinger [Medical Center], as well as local universities who continue to attract young fresh talent from out of the region.” With the exception of a few condos, Cooper has almost entirely single-family homes, with nearly 90% of residents owning their homes. Housing options include New Traditional, ranch-style, bi-level and manufactured homes. Occasionally, land is for sale, allowing buyers to build their own homes. Lots are large in Cooper: most are at least half an acre. Sale prices in Cooper range from roughly $20,000 to $80,000 for manufactured homes, $50,000 to $200,000 for land and
