Then you're getting ripped off. There's absolutely nothing up there. The land is essentially worthless.

The proximity to NYC keeps housing values elevated up there. I know a few people who live in NEPA and work in NYC. Their jobs provide them with hotels or apartments during the week.

Tioga and Bradford are 4+ hours from NYC. It's 4+ hours from any major city I think.

It's rich city people moving out of the cities in their retirements that drove prices up like crazy after they had been driven up by the natural gas industry.

housing is insane right now in that area. It's starting to level off some but house prices were going up to over $300k and selling instantly. Lots of city people moving into the area selling their $1m houses and having a ton of cash left over.
