The Escape offers a woodsy, easygoing lifestyle in the heart of the Poconos, with weekend adventure and everyday convenience in equal measure. Residents enjoy quick outings to Jim Thorpe for historic streets and festivals, or a northbound drive to Mount Pocono for dining and essentials. Outdoor options abound: hike waterfalls and the famous boulder field at Hickory Run State Park, managed by the state at the official Hickory Run State Park site, or launch a kayak and cast a line at the official Beltzville State Park site. Winter brings groomed runs at the official Jack Frost Big Boulder resort and all-season thrills at the official Camelback Resort.
Families appreciate practical access to schools, with many addresses zoned to the official Jim Thorpe Area School District and portions nearby served by the official Pocono Mountain School District. Healthcare needs are covered by the official Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono campus. When the weather turns, head indoors for waterslides and arcades at the official Kalahari Resorts – Pocono Mountains.
Set within the forests of Carbon County and within easy reach of Monroe County, housing ranges from cozy A-frames to contemporary builds with decks, firepits, and space to store skis, kayaks, and bikes. Commuters value connections via I-80 and the Turnpike, while full-timers relish quiet evenings under starry skies. Whether you’re buying a getaway or selling your year-round retreat, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent who knows The Escape inside and out.
