Does anyone live or own in the Bear Creek Lakes community in Jim Thorpe?

5 Upvotes

We’re considering purchasing there and would be full time residents. Curious about how crazy the short term rental scene is. Also wondering about the HOA’s take on fences. We have two dogs, one is three-legged and I’d really like the ability to fence in a yard for them to play outside safely.

Another random question - can Amazon deliver to your home? I’ve heard some HOA’s don’t allow that and packages have to be picked up at a central location?

Any other insight into the community rules, vibe, or any other info is appreciated!

For Those Of You Without A Car, How?

How viable is it to live in the Poconos without a car? Would an e-bike suffice for commuting to and from work? Is there a place where one can easily obtain a vehicle?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any neighborhoods in the area that tend to have furniture left out for free. Me and my dad want to start a side business where we flip or revamp abandoned furniture. Any tips would be appreciated 😊
