Just north of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, the rural region of Mount Pleasant is entirely residential, with residents typically living on multiple acres of rolling hills near farm markets and highly rated schools. “It’s rural and very scenic,” says Realtor Angela Young with Century 21 Covered Bridges Realty, Inc. “Mostly, you’re going to find rolling hills. You have easy access to Interstate 80, but you’re not going to find a lot of development. You’re going to find homes that are on acreage for the most part there.”

These are rural country roads.” Ranch-style and farmhouse architecture are predominant in Mount Pleasant, and the market moves quickly, with homes selling after an average of 21 days, much less than the national average of 50 days.
