Chestnuthill, PA Condos for Sale

Tucked within Monroe County, often considered the eastern gateway to the Poconos, lies Chestnuthill Township, where quiet stretches of farmland meet rolling forested woods and rural vistas. Chestnuthill was founded in 1763 when an abundance of chestnut trees grew throughout the landscape. Though the trees were largely decimated by the Chestnut Blight of the early 20th century, the township retains its name, as well as its idiosyncratic spelling. Today, this town of around 17,000 people has several residential enclaves offering peace and privacy. Brodheadsville is the community's commercial hub on the south side of town, featuring a mix of chains, mom-and-pop stores and other local businesses along U.S. Route 209. Farther north, quiet canopied streets lined with single-family homes abut patches of woodland with hidden hiking trails; several working farms are scattered in between. Located less than 30 miles from Easton and 15 miles from Stroudsburg, Chestnuthill Township offers a scenic, rural setting with convenient access to major metro areas as well as the rugged trails of the Poconos. "Chestnuthill is known locally as the West End," says Xander Weidenbaum, President of
