Towanda is a charming, walkable county seat on the Susquehanna River with a historic main street, affordable short-term housing, and easy access to trails and river recreation—an unpretentious, friendly base that’s surprisingly livable for multi-week contracts.
For weekend escapes and bigger-city amenities, Binghamton is roughly a 45–47 mile drive and Williamsport about 64 miles, both within about an hour to 1.5 hours and offering larger hospitals, nightlife and cultural options if you need them.
