Based on how you worded things, I'd say you'd ultimately be happier seeking employment in NY where you already are.

I'm wondering this too. My issue with NY is I live near NYC and the cost of living is very high

Well, I've lived in various parts of Pennsyltucky my entire life and if you're from the NYC metro and like the culture, diversity, and fun aspects of living there, you're not likely going to have a good time out here.

I now live where the New Yorkified Poconos sort of transitions into the rest of NEPA and think maybe you'd like the Stroudsburg-Milford-Hawley-Honesdale corridor. Also the Mount Pocono area might be a consideration.

If raising a family is in your near future, then there are plenty of wonderful places to settle. We moved to Harrisburg area from New Orleans for that purpose (and family in adjacent states) and it turned out great. Great education, calm easy life, low cost, but we do have to travel for entertainment (Philly, Balt 90 minutes away, NYC DC and Delaware beaches are 3hrs). Highly recommend!

Bucks County PA is full of people who live here but work in NYC. Live in the lower end around Falls/Morrisville go across the river and catch the train in Trenton to the city.
