Northeast Pennsylvania offers a slower pace than city living, with scenic, rolling hills of farmland where residents buy fresh produce from local farm markets and enjoy outdoor activities like hunting and golf. Columbia County’s Pine Township encapsulates rural Pennsylvania living while centrally located just a few hours from major cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York City. “Pine Township is very rural, very country living,” says Realtor Angela Young with Century 21 Covered Bridges Realty, Inc. “It has rolling hills and lots of places to fish, and it’s not unusual to occasionally see an Amish buggy.”
