Real Estate: Wilkes-Barre, PA
Once called the "Diamond City" (for the discovery of anthracite coal there), Wilkes-Barre's population exploded in the 1800s as many people swarmed to this corner of NEPA real estate for work in the mines. The mines are gone now, of course, yet real estate in Wilkes-Barre (pronounced "wilks barry") continues to offer residents and visitors alike the charm of a small-town community -- one that hugs the beautiful Susquehanna River, no less -- with access to the ubër-cosmopolitan atmospheres of Philadelphia and New York City just about 100 miles to the southeast (Philly) and east (NYC).
