Easy commute and low taxes in West Scranton
Just west of downtown Scranton, Hyde Park is home to various cuisines and storefronts. Residents can walk from the front porch of their homes to a local eatery or market and likely pass a church along the way. The town is home to Saint Ann’s Monastery, which also offers Mass services. Aside from retail and churches, the west side offers plenty of green space and the area is surrounded by interstate convenience. “Many are flocking to Scranton because of the manageable commute and career opportunities, while others are attracted to the considerably lower taxes and tight-knit community spirit,” says Christine Polizzi, a Realtor at EXP Realty with experience all around Northeast Pennsylvania.

A little over a mile to the east in downtown Scranton, Hyde Park residents can explore more dining options and family adventures. The Steamtown National Historic Site is a rail museum, and next door is the Electric City Trolley Museum. Nearby is the Electric City Aquarium & Reptile Den. "First Friday Scranton is popular, a walkable, cultural festival with artwork, food vendors and live music,” says Polizzi. Close to downtown is The University of Scranton, a private Catholic and Jesuit university. “As the allure of Scranton grows, it’s no wonder out-of-state buyers—particularly from New York and New Jersey—are drawn to this city,” Polizzi says.
