19th-century suburban borough
Throop was first incorporated as a borough toward the end of the 19th century and was originally populated by individuals working in the coal mining and silk manufacturing industries. Situated between Scranton and Carbondale, modern-day Throop is now a mixed-property neighborhood that includes a range of residential, municipal and industrial sectors. According to Colleen Weissman, an experienced Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Properties, homes in the area “feature a wide range of prices” and are usually close to commercial areas and public transportation. Students can attend public schools in the Mid Valley School District, rated C-plus by Niche, and can also enroll in after-school programs at the Throop Community Civic Center.
