Monroe County is a pretty good place to live, but the property taxes are a bit steep. There is plenty of nature. Forests, hiking trails, and many other outdoor opportunities await you here. There are great, wonderful, kind people here but there is also an undercurrent of racism that is rather sickening. It is good and bad in any place that you live in. The good generally outweighs the bad here. Health care access is more plentiful than it used to be. The same goes for ease of access to grocery and convenience stores.
To congested. It takes forever to get where you're going. A lot of people are moving here from New York City. They think its great because it feels like the country to them. But the reality is that this area is not meant for that many people. Its a shame because nature wise it is absolutely stunning. If you're looking for a nice quiet place I would not suggest anywhere around Stroudsburg.
There are lots of nice people around this area, depending on where you travel. There are some things I'd like to see change like the amount of potholes and the gangs in the neighborhoods to decrease.
