Between the historic Monroe County Courthouse and banner-strung Main Street, Downtown Stroudsburg serves as both the longtime county seat and the modern hub of art, music, and commerce for Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg. “Between the Burgs, tourism is the No. 1 industry, followed by education through East Stroudsburg University,” says Bob Kelly, a Realtor with the Kelly Realty Group of Keller Williams Real Estate who lives in Downtown Stroudsburg.
“More people are moving out here from New York City, hiking the Appalachian Trail at the Delaware Water Gap, kayaking down the river, mountain biking trails at all different difficulty levels – there's so much to do around here. I can walk from my office in the center of town to restaurants and bars. It’s an ultra-convenient location.” Bordered to the south by Interstate 80, Downtown Stroudsburg continues to blend the stately architecture of the past with ever-evolving Main Street shopping, dining, and event destinations that draw tourists off the interstate and city-dwellers off Long Island and into the Poconos.
