Condos for Sale in Lackawaxen, PA

Lackawaxen’s rivers, lakes and mountains entice many to make two-to-three-hour drives from New York City and Philadelphia to spend weekends — or entire summers — hiking through forests, boating across the water and wading into the Lackawaxen River to fish for trout. This Northeast Pennsylvania township among the Pocono Mountains is home to Woodloch Resort, which draws 80,000 visitors annually. “Our population increases significantly in the summertime,” says Cathy Wargo, the township’s assistant treasurer. When those tourists leave at the end of the summer, Lackawaxen’s 5,400 year-round residents enjoy the peacefulness and natural beauty of the community. Lackawaxen’s residents are a mix of longtime locals, weekenders, summer vacationers and retirees, Wargo says. “A lot of residents from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia will move here when they retire if they already have a summer home here.” Houses are clustered in the community’s large residential developments. For example, A-frame homes and contemporary designs from the ‘70s fill Fawn Lake Forest, and the homes often come in colors such as green and brown that blend in with their wooded surroundings.
