I live in Pleasant Valley S.D. but not in Brodheadsville/Chestnuthill Twp. itself.

I've lived in the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County before moving here so my comparisons are in relation to those places.

If you want a house of your own in a somewhat suburban/country area and want to be left alone doing your own thing in an area without much sense of community then this place is for you. Houses here are certainly more affordable than comparable homes in places further south and east.

But school real estate taxes are high here and go up every year. The school board is kind of goofy and the administration is uninspiring from what I hear.

Also you're driving a decent way to get anywhere significant and in the winter the local Monroe County PennDOT maintenance district does a truly crappy job of even clearing major roads like 209.

But overall, I like the area because I have a much nicer house here than most other places I could've lived instead. And since I don't look for much in the way of community resources/municipal services, the area works for me

However try to avoid Kunkletown itself and areas just south and east from there though. That area nearer the mountain is, um, interesting, lol.

Good luck!
