The Poconos

A haven for nature lovers with an abundance of hiking trails, pristine lakes, and lush forests.

Welcome to The Poconos

Welcome to the Poconos, an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It feels a world away yet quite accessible to the Lehigh Valley, New York, and New Jersey.
 

The Scene

The Pocono region is a haven for nature lovers with an abundance of hiking trails, pristine lakes, and lush forests whether you’re seeking adrenaline-pumping thrills like white-water rafting or peaceful moments in your spacious backyard.
 
The area is dotted with charming towns like popular Jim Thorpe with its notable historic attractions like the Asa Packer Mansion, the mysterious Old Jail Museum, and restaurants lining the main street called Broadway.
 
Splurge and indulge with a stay at The Lodge at Woodloch in the town of Hawley which also has a great antiquing scene and some small family wineries with gorgeous views. And, Milford is a super charming little city that is a must-see emanating history with a great culinary scene and antiquing for days.
 

The Lifestyle

Experience the laid-back lifestyle of the Pocono Region, where residents enjoy a deep connection to nature and a sense of tranquility. Things are slower-paced here and it’s literally a breath of fresh air.
 
Living here means embracing the outdoors as part of your daily life, whether it’s skiing down the slopes of Camelback Mountain or kayaking in the Shawnee On Delaware or Delaware Water Gap areas or simply relaxing in your backyard with a bonfire. This is also a mountain bike central in the region.
 

The Market

The Poconos encompasses many, many towns and lifestyles. For some, the location is their primary residence while others have second homes (in family-friendly Lake Harmony, for example). There are options available for literally every budget and it’s still an area where you can secure a good-sized plot of land to build your dream home.
 
Whether it be the small, close-knit communities of Lehighton and Palmerton (closest to the Lehigh Valley) or farther north toward Wilkes-Barre for a more remote, ‘away from it all’ vibe, this area is vast and has something for everyone. It’s a ‘get more for your money’ spot from square footage to land and worth exploring as a buyer (especially remote workers).
