A Vacation Home in Arrowhead Lake is a Good Choice

Arrowhead Lake in Pocono Lake, Monroe County, PA, is (still) one of my favorite places to take vacation home buyers.  Whether one is looking for a low priced chalet, or a plush lakefront property, this lake community has something for everyone.  It is located in close proximity to several ski areas, such as Jack Frost/Big Boulder and Camelback, as well as to shopping (The Crossings!), the new slots parlor to open later this year, and various other Pocono draws.  Plus, there are pools, lakes with beaches, tennis courts and playgrounds on-site, for a variety of year round amusements.  Rustic in nature, with many of the roads remaining unpaved, it has held its charm as a getaway place despite the steady growth in homes built there-I love going there in the summer to see people walking or riding their golf carts to the beach or pool, floaties in tow, smiles on their faces!  There is a laid back atmosphere there that is very appealing the New York and Philadelphia market that it attracts, even if it is just a hair too far for many of those wishing to live here and commute to work. 

Properties do pretty well as rentals/investments here, too, and it is not unusual for a property to be sold with lease commitments already in place, or with a strong rental-client base to pass on to the new owner, as visitors tend to want to return year after year.  This gives a prospective purchaser a good opportunity to 'try out' the area before making the commitment to buy...CLICK HERE to see some short term rentals available in Arrowhead, which are good to check out if you want to come up for the weekend, or just want to see what kind of rents these homes demand.
