Fayette County PA - A great place to visit - A great place to retire.
Fayette County is located in Southwestern Pennsylvania and borders West Virginia and Maryland. The area offers many outdoor activities including biking, hiking, snow skiing, fishing, boating, hunting, kayaking and has some of the best whitewater rafting areas on the east coast.
There are miles of State Forests and Parks and the mountains of Fayette County offer the most spectacular fall beauty. Wildlife is abundant in the mountain areas and you won’t be suprised to see a deer, bear or wild turkey while driving through. Ohiopyle State Park offers over 28 miles of hiking and biking trails along the Youghiogheny River Trail. Ohiopyle was voted the #4 best place to build a log home by Log Home Living Magazine!

We love our Myrtle Beach, but plan on moving north where both our families are located near Allentown, Pa and Long Island NY. We are very confused as property taxes seem very high in Pa, and we have yet to locate a community that has good medical, and reasonable price homes. We are very active and want to be near night life, with things to do all year long. Any suggestions??
Thanks
