Why Live in Smithfield Township Monroe
Smithfield Township unfurls along Monroe County's eastern border, where Pennsylvania and New Jersey meet along the Delaware River. Tucked within the Poconos, rolling wooded hills comingle with open fields, while preservation lands frame much of its landscape. "Smithfield is a beautiful, natural township," says Xander Weidenbaum, President of Redstone Run Realty. "It borders the Delaware River to the east, which includes the Delaware Water Gap area, a major tourist destination." Still, Smithfield is home to a healthy blend of long-time locals and newer residents. "Smithfield is a mixed bag," Weidenbaum says. "There are many full-time residents, but there are also small pockets of vacation homes."
U.S. Route 209 divides the town into two parts. Most vacation rentals, hotels and campgrounds sit east of Route 209, offering access to the valley and the nearby Shawnee Mountain Ski Area. Farther west, quiet residential enclaves lined with single-family homes abut against swathes of rugged woodland. Milford Road serves as the town's commercial hub, while East Stroudsburg offers additional nearby amenities. With a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of
