[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the richest most affluent area/section of central pa? Where do most people want to live?[/quote]

I’m from central PA and this question made me chuckle. If this is particularly important to you it might be hard to find your people. [/quote]

Did you read the whole thread? PP was responding to the comment "The area is a mix of suburban and rural. Mechanicsburg is more affluent." Even in poorer rural areas there are still more desirable areas that people want to live in. [/quote]

I don't think you understand the culture of the region. There is not a "rich" town and Central PA covers a huge geographic area. If you pick a given town, yes it's better to be in a house surrounded by farmland/forest or in a nicer development than a trailer park, but there's no "Bethesda" of the region, if you will. [/quote]

Yes, exactly.  It's not like in DC, where if you want to signal that you're wealthy you buy in Chevy Chase or Mclean or a couple of other neighborhoods.  There are wealthier and poorer people most everywhere in central PA.  It's not as divided by wealth and it's not as status-obsessed, which are good things in my mind![/quote]

Agree. I think only if you’re looking to buy in the city (different county) would those questions be important to know which areas to look at. 
That said, out of the various towns in Cumberland I think the only one I wouldn’t be that keen on is Lemoyne. Possible I just don’t know where the nicer spots are there but most of it that I drive through all looks kind of run down. [/quote]
