Moving To Pennsylvania? Things You Should Know BEFORE Moving To The Poconos!

You have NO idea what "lack of diversity" in restaurants is! Try Belfonte PA (near State College. Exactly 8 restaurants in the whole town and 6 of them are (bad) Italian food. We saw that repeated over and over in our trip across PA. The Poconos is a tourist spot. There are a number of different kinds of restaurant out there (none of the great) but nontheless different.

Business service sucks! in the poconos they dont keep appointments, I never met a contractor or mechanic who was not on drugs and they charge more than nyc. the gas is higher in pa than in nyc which is crazy...The food also sucks big time its only McDonald's pizza, chinese food and beer!!!

Me and my girlfriend are moving to PA from Florida . Trying to get out of are overcrowded city . Any recommendations for any good places to look into ?

Everything you said is true I wish I viewed this video before I moved🙄😞

Please do not move here. Especially "diversity". We do not want you. Stay with your own.

I’m moving here im from New York too I can’t find no dispensaries please help me

I'm in the country part in Mount Pocono..moved from Brooklyn New York 2008..the deers eat everything the bears leave trash bags everywhere..living in a community sucks..no way to get anywhere if you don't drive.uhhh!😢

A lot of that is pretty standard for small towns. I'm from Chicago, currently live in Brooklyn, and I'm working on relocating to the Poconos area. My dad retired to rural Michigan and had many of the same complaints. At least you're still driving/bus ride distance from NYC or at least the better parts of NJ if you miss the food/nightlife. I recommend learning how to cook!

I like outdoors stuff and look forward to getting out of the chaos of the big city. My only real concern is snow and bears. How often will I have to wrestle bears?

I’m really tired of going to the same 5 places for food and just going there to have something to do.

Im visting pennsylvania soon and soo far your video is absolutely right lol but what is there to do in scranton?

Thank you a ton for this video. Helped me make an informed decision. What parts of PA are diverse ? I cant move to Philly so I need other options badly.

there is a honeymoon place in the poconos its in the mountians

Hi! What areas would you recommend in terms of safety? Are hoas better or is it all the same? Looking to relocate to PA next year!! 🎉

“If you give them a chance to “ 😂😂😂😂😂

Very good video I agree

How is internet , I need really good reliable service, I’m a remote worker and my internet has been an issue

I love your video. Im from NYC and I want to move to the Poconos later on as it's close to NYC it's cheaper than NYC and my cousin lives in the Poconos. What wild animals are in the Poconos?

When are you going to give us a tour of your lovely house 🏠 in the Poconos?

My family and I are currently living in Seattle. I love the environment here - so green! But it's so hard to make friends here. I'm looking into moving to Pennsylvania because it seems to be pretty green and lush. I am very much into gardening. Hoping to visit the area in a couple months to check it out.

There are a lot of ethnicities in the Poconos there are African Americans Dominicans Puerto Rican people Cuban People I f do not know where you are in the Poconos but it’s close to nyC and NJ so now in 2024 there are all kids of people living in the Poconos

I moved three months ago and im loving it❤ mind you im from NY and I am over the overcrowding and noise😅 I love the food options in NY. But sometimes you gotta pick and choose . Nothing is perfect 👌 😊

I used to live in Stroudsburg in 2005. Beautiful nature for sure.
