Arrowhead Lake and Locust Lake Village are two of the best-known private lake communities in the Pocono Lake area of Monroe County — close neighbors, each with its own lake, amenities, and character. Here’s what to know about both.

Arrowhead Lake
Arrowhead Lake is a private, association-governed lake community with its own beaches, clubhouse, and recreational amenities reserved for residents and their guests. For 2026, association dues are $2,170 per year. These fees are set annually and can change from year to year, so always confirm the current rate for any specific property before making an offer.
Locust Lake Village
Locust Lake Village sits nearby and follows a similar model — a private, amenity-based lake community rather than an open township. For 2026, association dues are $1,732 per year, and as with any HOA, these fees are set annually and can change, so confirm the current rate for any specific property. Locust Lake State Park, adjacent to the community, adds additional public recreation and hiking access nearby, distinct from the private lake itself.
Homes and Pricing in This Area
Both communities fall within the broader Pocono Lake area (zip code 18347), where based on local MLS/PMAR data, the average sale price over the trailing 19 months (Jan 2025–Jul 2026) has been $338,836, with a March 2026 snapshot of $309,763 — tracking close to the Monroe County-wide average. Individual pricing within Arrowhead Lake or Locust Lake Village specifically can vary based on lake proximity, lot size, and each association’s fee structure, so it’s worth reviewing property-specific numbers directly.
Who These Communities Fit Best
Arrowhead Lake and Locust Lake Village tend to suit buyers drawn to a private lake lifestyle with built-in community structure and amenities, whether as a full-time residence or a second home.
