Cleaning Services in Tobyhanna, PA

Tobyhanna is where this market's rental work concentrates. The Tobyhanna rental sub-market carries about 1,030 active short-term rentals, more than any other in the region, and they sit inside communities big enough to be towns in their own right. A Pocono Country Place has 4,050 homes behind its gate and more than 15,000 full-time residents. Pocono Farms and Country Club runs to roughly 1,500 homes around a golf course and is about three-quarters owner-occupied. Arrowhead Lake straddles the township line, gated and laid out for golf carts on its private roads.

That mix is the whole point of this page. These are not resorts with a few rentals in them; they are neighborhoods where full-time families and weekend owners live on the same street, which means we do turnovers and weekly houses in the same community on the same day. Coolbaugh Township, which contains Tobyhanna, is home to about 20,800 people and is the largest municipality in Monroe County.

Getting in is the part nobody writes about. In communities like these it is the association office that registers guests and vehicles and decides who comes through the gate, not the homeowner with the lockbox code. We ask which community a property is in when we quote it and we work that out with the community office before the first visit, because a crew turned away at a guardhouse on a same-day changeover does not cost an afternoon, it costs a booking.

Tobyhanna is also a working town, and has been for a long time. The name is Lenape for a stream whose banks are fringed with alder. It cut and shipped ice from 1900 to 1936. Today Tobyhanna Army Depot employs about 3,100 people as the Department of Defense's largest center for the repair and fabrication of electronic systems, and it is northeastern Pennsylvania's largest industrial employer. Tobyhanna State Park and Gouldsboro State Park are both here, and Interstate 380 bisects the township.

At 1,568 feet Tobyhanna sits about eleven hundred feet above East Stroudsburg, and it holds winter accordingly. The drive is 20.3 miles and about 33 minutes, I-80 west to I-380 north, and we build the schedule around that run rather than treating this end of the market as an outpost.
