Short drive from downtown Scranton
Tripp’s Park is a small neighborhood that sits 2 miles outside of downtown Scranton. The streets are filled with independent businesses where people can purchase a cupcake or shop for antiques. Because US Route 11 runs through the middle of town, it is easy for residents to access nearby malls and big-box stores. Residents can connect with nature at Tripp Park or spend their weekend at the Houdini Museum, Tour & Magic Show. Students here are served by the Scranton School District and can participate in athletics and other extracurriculars.
Tripp’s Park’s covered porches
Homes sit toward the front of green lawns that are punctuated with bushes and trees, and thin sidewalks line the wide roads. There are many different architectural styles in the neighborhood, including Foursquare, bungalows and new traditional homes with colonial influences. Dormer windows are a popular feature, as are covered porches where residents can sit and watch the sunset. Most single-family properties sell for between $125,000 and $250,000.
