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.

Local flavors and classy taverns

Hyde Park is home to a variety of flavors, one of the favorites being Westside Flava’s. There, locals can grab sandwiches and soul food plates to go. Carmella’s Italian Deli & Pastries is a counter and dine-in eatery serving sandwiches and desserts. “These mouth-watering Italian delicacies at both Carmella’s and Villa Marie make these spots local favorites,” says Polizzi. Nearby, Keystone Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, specializing in burgers and fries. And next door, residents can pick up a New York-style pizza at Vincenzo’s. In the northern neck of town, Farr Street Tavern is a more upscale bar and grill, providing a nightlife scene. For groceries and essentials, locals can head to Walmart on the south side of town or Giant on the north side.

Things to do in the Electric City

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.

Museums and recreation at McDade Park

On the west side of town is McDade Park, where there’s a playground, walking trails, outdoor athletic courts and fields, an Olympic-sized pool and a splash pad. Also on site are the Anthracite Heritage Museum and Lackawanna Coal Mines. Both Sloan Little League Park and Tripp Park are small neighborhood parks with baseball diamonds. “These parks offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, picnicking, and exploration. They’re also a testament to Scranton's commitment to preserving its green spaces,” adds Polizzi. In the northern part of town, golfers can practice their drive at Fawnwood Golf Complex.
