I live close by. Brodheadsville isn't bad, but i think neighboring Saylorsburg is even better as far as seclusion but you still have access to shopping and things in Brodheadsville. I've been here 25 years and my thoughts are this.

There is a mix of people here and many transplants from NY, NJ and Philadelphia and then you have the summer homes. That is a little more of the diverse crown. Now the locals are another thing. They are let's say, not exactly educated, and have a poor grasp on what is happening in the world and ignorant. Racism is a part of their life because of their ignorance and not being exposed to different cultures. I saw the racism first hand because i am caucasian and my then wife was Jamaican and was privy to it.

The scenery around the area is beautiful if you are into nature. Home prices are OK. The reason I mentioned Saylorsburg is that a good portion of it is nearer to Stroudsburg which is a different population all together.
