Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Is One Of The Best Places To Retire

Small-town Pennsylvania harkens back to a simpler time when everyone knew everyone else and where life moved at a slower pace. When we need a break from the noise of the big city, we have an abundance of darling small towns across the state that provide the perfect getaway. And when we’re ready to settle down in retirement, we might want to consider relocating to Stroudsburg, named one of the best places to retire in the United States by Travel & Leisure.

Snuggled in the Poconos, Stroudsburg earned a spot on *Travel & Leisure’s* “10 Best Small Towns To Retire In The U.S,” alongside such quaint spots as Bristol, Vermont and Dillsboro, North Carolina.

Stroudsburg, home to around 5,500 residents, oozes charm, making it an ideal destination whether you’re looking for a leisurely getaway or a place to settle down, even before retirement.

However, the small town’s hospitals, home healthcare services, and senior living facilities helped earn it a nod as a prime retirement destination. The darling town is also brimming with things to do.

The historic small town dates back to 1815, and its quaint downtown and full menu of attractions make tourism its primary industry.

Downtown Stroudsburg makes exploration on foot easy, and you’ll find plenty to do there – from browsing its eclectic shops to dining at its quaint restaurants.

The enchanting downtown also hosts several annual events throughout the year. Stock up on the freshest fruits, veggies, and other goods at the Monroe Farmers Market. It runs from May through November annually.

Wintertime – from November through March – brings the joys of the season with its hand-painted snowmen that travel around town.
