Why buyers pick A Pocono Country Place
APCP is the community people land in when they want the full amenity package, a wide choice of homes and a commute that actually works. Because it is so large, inventory ranges from modest chalets and ranchers to newer builds and full-time family homes — and there is almost always something active on the market. Add indoor and outdoor pools, lake and beach access and a gated entry with patrol, and it is one of the strongest value-per-dollar communities in Monroe County.
Year-round amenities
An indoor pool keeps the community usable in January, not just in beach season — a real difference from the summer-only communities.
Choice of homes
Several thousand lots means a wider price and style range than the smaller lake communities, from weekend chalets to full-time family homes.
Commuter access
Near Route 196 and Route 940 with quick I-380 access toward Scranton, the Lehigh Valley and the NJ / NY routes.
Amenities and community life
Amenity access comes with ownership through the property owners association. Badges, guest passes, seasonal hours and lake rules are set by the association and adjusted from year to year, so confirm the current season's rules for anything you plan to use heavily.
- Community lakes with beach and swimming areas
- Indoor swimming pool for year-round use
- Outdoor pool areas in season
- Clubhouse and community center
- Tennis, basketball and playing fields
- Playgrounds and picnic areas
- Gated entry with community security patrol
- Association events and seasonal programs
