Mention the "perfect" get-away home and some people's thoughts immediately turn toward oceanfront property or a large, luxury home along a gorgeous golf course. Homes like that may be beautiful, but they tend to be expensive—and out of reach. But that doesn't mean you can't find the perfect get-away home. It's really a matter of finding a place that has everything you want—within your budget. Here’s a post that highlights the importance of having a realistic budget—and how to set your budget. Let’s look at how to find an affordable home in the Poconos.

Setting the budget for your new home in the Poconos is one of the most critical steps you’ll take in the homebuilding process. So how do you “get it right”? It’s a process that’s filled with questions. Let’s take a look at some of the key questions that will help you get things off on the right foot and ensure that you end up with the Poconos home that’s right for you.

If you look at television or magazine ads, there seems to be a lot of discussion about planning for retirement these days. Most of the talk, however, is (understandably) focused on the financial side of the consideration. There is, however, more to the picture when you look down the road to retirement. If you’re starting to think about retirement, one of the big questions you’ll be faced with is where you should live.

All jokes about in-laws and outlaws aside, there really is something called an in-law apartment (or sometimes a mother-in-law apartment) and it just might be something you should consider for your new home in the Poconos.An in-law apartment is essentially a self-contained living space within a home that’s occupied by a family.

When some people think about the Poconos, they think about it as a summer getaway. It’s a place to go to escape the heat and congestion of the city or the suburbs while enjoying the best that nature has to offer. 

If you’ve been doing some research on building a new home you may have come across the school of thought that warns you against buying more home than your budget can handle. To be honest, we think that’s pretty good advice. If you buy more than you really need, and overextend yourself—chances are that you won’t really enjoy the time you spend in your new home. And you might not even be able to stay in it very long. 

For a lot of people building a home in the Poconos is a dream come true—whether it’s a vacation get-away, a summer, home, a place to retire, or a year-round family home. Part of the appeal is that there’s something for everybody in the Poconos. But there are times when more than one family wants to take advantage of what the Poconos have to offer. 

It’s not always about peace and quiet in the Poconos. Sometimes, it gets downright loud—and some residents love it that way!

Most people planning on building a new home aren’t looking for a short-term solution to their housing needs. They plan to stay in their new home for a while. But how can you plan a new home that will meet your current needs and lifestyle while ensuring you’ll be comfortable and safe in the years to come?

A lot of people move to the Poconos because they love the views: Trees, streams, waterfalls, and rolling mountains. There’s no doubt about it, it’s a beautiful area.
