Pringle offers a quiet borough with suburban charm near Wilkes-Barre
Pringle is a small borough in the Wyoming Valley. It’s home to fewer than 900 people and offers an established suburban community with well-kept lawns, traditional homes and the occasional cherry blossom tree growing along the residential streets. “This area is gorgeous in the spring, summer and fall,” says Noah Doncses, a Realtor with Cobblestone Real Estate and a Northeastern Pennsylvania native. In addition to its suburban streetscapes and tranquil atmosphere, Pringle sits on the western bank of the Susquehanna River and is less than 5 miles from Wilkes-Barre. “It’s close to nearby city centers and convenient to local shops,” Doncses says.

Residential borough where traditional homes rarely come on the market
Common architectural styles here include everything from two-story cottages and American Foursquares to traditional raised ranches and ranch-style homes. Properties typically sit side-by-side and have quarter-acre lots with modest backyards. Houses in Pringle rarely come on the market, and Doncses explains that residents tend to set down roots here. “This is a very tight-knit community. People stay put and stay close to their families,” he says. The average home value in the borough is around $200,000. When homes are for sale, they sell after an average of about a month on the market.
