City conveniences and suburban tranquility
Greenridge overlooks downtown Scranton from the Electric City’s northeast side, just east of the Lackawanna River. “This is a very nice neighborhood in Scranton,” says Re/Max Realty Select’s Alexander Schwartz, who has worked with clients buying and selling local real estate for nearly 5 years. “The setting is very historic with beautiful, one-of-a-kind homes that you won’t see anywhere else, so sometimes it doesn’t even feel like you are living in a city,” he says. Close to shopping, dining, parks and both public and private schools, Greenridge exudes both lively city convenience and suburban calm.
Early 20th-century suburban charm
These classically suburban streets are lined with everything from colorful 1910s Queen Annes to stately Colonial Revivals and American Foursquares built between 1920 and 1930. There are even 1950s ranch-style bungalows and 1920s Craftsman and Prairie-style homes. The narrow sidewalks are bathed in the shade of Greenridge’s towering trees. Backyards are enclosed by tall privacy fencing, while manicured front lawns and gardens are left open or bordered merely by white picket fencing. Most homes feature narrow driveways, so there aren’t a lot of cars parked on these quiet residential streets. Prices here start at $150,000 for well-maintained but minimally updated homes with two or three bedrooms and can go as high as $450,000 for fully renovated five- or six-bedroom homes.
