Hughestown, PA Home for Rent

Hughestown, PA, is a small borough adjacent to Pittston, featuring a mix of older homes and new developments. The area is quieter and primarily residential, with hilly streets lined with long, narrow lots adorned with bushes and trees. Housing styles range from early to mid-20th century brick and vinyl-sided ranch styles, split levels, bilevels, farmhouses with covered porches, and American Foursquares. Stauffer Pointe, a new condominium community in the southern part of Hughestown, offers manicured lawns, a clubhouse, and a pool. Residents can choose from two and three-bedroom ranch-style and two-story floorplans. The Hughestown Fire Department, run by volunteers, is central to the community, hosting events like the Good Friday Fish Fry. Local dining includes the Pittston Diner and fine dining at Rikasa in nearby Pittston. Essential shopping is available at Redner’s Warehouse Market, Aldi, Walmart, and Lowe’s. Hughestown residents participate in Pittston's annual Tomato Festival and local events such as Christmas tree lighting and Easter egg hunts. Robert Yaple Memorial Park, located centrally, offers baseball and soccer fields, a playground, and access to nearby parks like Riverfront Park. The borough is largely car-dependent, with Luzerne County Transportation Authority stops along U.S. Route 11. The area has a lower crime risk compared to the national average. However, the presence of quarries and stone yards brings train and truck traffic, contributing to the local economy but also increasing noise levels.
