REAL ESTATE

Isn't it wonderful that so much wide open space still exists round and about these states, united . . . and it is one of the more fortunate "happenstances" that the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania abound in big, beautiful space . . . room to breathe the unpolluted air, fish the clean streams, hike or jog the winding roadways, sleep undisturbed in the star-filled night, and play or relax in the perfect countryside.

The following pages will give you a great deal of information about the people who know most concerning these wide open spaces . . . realtors, second home community developers, etc., and they will also detail a host of related services for the information of newcomers and potential property owners in the Pocono Mountains.
