REGIONAL INFORMATION ON “THE VALLEY” – NORTHEASTERN, PENNSYLVANIA


Sayre, Pennsylvania is located in Northeastern Pennsylvania on the New York State border. We are located approximately 40 minutes from Binghamton, 2 hours from Scranton and 45 minutes from Ithaca, and from Corning and the rest of the Finger Lakes Region. Our organization maintains dual certifications for both Pennsylvania and New York as 50% of our calls are in New York.

The Valley Area, consisting of Sayre, Athens, and South Waverly, Pennsylvania and Waverly, New York is complete with rural beauty and a small town atmosphere where friendliness, security and community play a major role in the lives of local residents.

Health care, gas exploration and manufacturing are the industry leaders in the Valley with a median income of $39,905 (Sayre 2007) and a 2008 Cost of Living index of 85.9 (Sayre, US average is 100).

Perhaps the most attractive feature of the Valley is that it offers both the essence of a small hometown, and easy access to larger cultural centers like Elmira, Corning, Ithaca, Binghamton and Watkins Glen; even the bustling of New York City is only 4 hours away. Natural beauty, a healthy economic base and many recreational activities make this a great area to raise a family.
