Barb Posted March 16, 2018 Report Posted March 16, 2018 When I sold my house in the Poconos it took a while and I lost money on it. Homes in that development are dirt cheap now. I truly enjoyed all the time I spent there though. By that time I was really "over" the beach, having grew up there. It was a nice change of pace. 1 Quote

Expand Why do you think home prices in the poconos have dropped so much. I know the Monroe county part of the poconos like Stroudsburg to Tobyhanna have become really ghetto but thought it was still nice around split rock. Quote

Expand Declining air fares mean folks who can afford second home are more likely to vacation further away than Poconos. And declining economy in NEPA reduces value of first homes. Quote

It's a lot easier now for people to travel past the Poconos for vacation out of NYC or Philly to a lesser extent. Why buy a vacation house in the woods when you can fly to the caribbean for $500 Quote

Although with the beach I guess the ocean is the ocean whether it's Waikiki beach or Margate lol Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 16, 2018 Report Posted March 16, 2018 On topic of spending night near Blue, are there nearby options to the North? Seems like going South everything is at least 17 local road miles away. Quote

Beach has always been pricier than mountains though, and there are some very upscale towns for rich folks to hobnob in, which Poconos have never really had. The whole heart shape bed champagne glass in room hot tub image does the Poconos no favor either. Screams tacky. Edited March 16, 2018 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
