Diverse housing on East Mountain
Once a quiet retreat for Scranton locals, East Mountain is now a neighborhood with diverse housing and multiple parks. Hilly streets pass Dutch colonial, ranch and Cape Cod-style homes. Residences built in the 2000s sit streets away from original Queen Anne-style estates. With access to two lakes and a ski resort, locals can take advantage of their mountainous location. Shopping and dining spots are nearby, and a short drive leads to more options in downtown Scranton. The area encompasses two school districts, which buyers can consider when looking at homes. Public transportation is available within the neighborhood, and there is also access to nearby highways.
East Mountain has many quiet neighborhoods and communities to live.

Getting away from it all at Nay Aug Park
As the name suggests, the neighborhood is home to many scenic outdoor spaces. East Mountain residents can take their children to Robinson Park to enjoy the playground equipment and to walk by Mountain Lake, historically a popular retreat for Scranton citizens to camp, swim and fish. Locals can also enjoy Lake Scranton, which has a 3.5-mile trail around it with views of the lake. Nay Aug Park, named after the Munsee word for noisy water, “is perfect for feeling like you’re away from everything,” says Jillian Kemmerer, owner and Realtor for Luxe Homes, who has sold real estate in the area for the past eight years. “There’s a treehouse to explore and lots of walking trails.” Those wanting to take in the mountain views can go to the lookout on Moosic Street, with a vista of downtown Scranton and the surrounding mountains.

Mansions of yesteryear and new builds
East Mountain was initially covered by “bigger, stately homes and some estates from around 1920,” Kemmerer says. “Nowhere in Scranton is untouched by development, however. You’ll see a big mix of houses- some mansions of yesteryear, a few apartment communities and some new builds.” There are very few current listings, but recent sales have ranged in price from under $100,000 to over $500,000. Homes listed on the lower end have been split-levels or Cape Cods in need of repair with one or two bedrooms, and those over $500,000 are mostly well-maintained estates from the 1920s or earlier.

There’s always something going on in Scranton
The Scranton area is “very active. There’s always something going on,” Kemmerer says. In March, Montage Mountain Resort hosts Mountainfest, an annual celebration to close the ski season. Activities include live music and Preston & Steve’s Annual Cardboard Classic, where participants attempt to race bizarre, hand-made cardboard sleds down the mountain. Scranton also hosts a St. Patrick’s Day parade each year with over 1,000 participants. “St. Patrick’s is a massive, massive deal,” Kemmerer says.
