Central, PA - Targeted Areas Advise

[Syed Shah]

So, I might be moving to central PA and targeting Bloomsburg, Lewisburg, Elysburg, Northumberland - PA areas.

Wondering which areas are better than the other in terms of growth or appreciation, also is renting a better option vs say buying(with current interest rates)?

Any local experts(Realtors or investors) willing to lend a hand or guidance would be really appreciated, please? Thank you.
