First discovered by settlers in 1750, West Wyoming is a strong community with a rural feel. Resting in the mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania, this borough offers serene parks, both large and small, as well as outdoor activities. These natural destinations are only a short drive from houses sporting plenty of yard space, schools supporting the county, grocery stores and fresh local pizza. This neighborhood is also full of residents who have lived there their whole lives and love it, which can be very easily seen at the weekly gatherings at local businesses and parks.

A Pennsylvania pizza lover’s paradise
Nothing brings a community together like food, and West Wyoming does not disappoint. In the center of the neighborhood lies Sicilian Bella Festa, a local outdoor pizza eatery featured on PBS due to their sizzling pan pizzas. “I always get the red sweet garlic pizza, probably a little too much,” says Eddie Heck, a lifelong resident of the area and Realtor with Classic Properties. Residents also love to head down to Marianacci's Restaurant, which has served Italian favorites for over 50 years. Locals can restock at the Price Chopper less than 2 miles away or the giant Walmart about 7 miles away.

Drive-ins and ball games
There is plenty for locals to enjoy in West Wyoming, no matter the season. The area's highlight to many residents is the recently remodeled Moonlite Drive-In Movie Theater, which offers weekly movies from the beginning of spring to the end of fall. For locals with young athletes, Heck recommends the Wyoming- West Wyoming Little League program, where he played as a child and coached as an adult.
Big yards for the little borough
Houses in the West Wyoming area only add to this neighborhood’s rural feel. Many of the homes fall into the American Four Square, ranch- or Cape Cod-style category, with many of them offering three to four bedrooms. Prices can range from $110,000 to $250,000 throughout the neighborhood. Many homes are also close to the street and offer open backyards perfect for barbeques.

Colorful holiday lights and playsets
Parks are an essential part of life for residents of West Wyoming. Ralph Dailey Memorial Park is home to all the holiday events, like the Memorial Day parade and the glittering holiday lights in the winter. “It is the gathering place for the community,” says Heck. Locals with children also head to Michael V. Charney Memorial Park, which has a colorful playset and tennis courts.

A quick car trip borough
Cars are the primary mode of transportation in the area, but many things are so close that some choose to use bikes in the warmer months. There is also the Luzerne County Transportation Authority for bus trips to neighboring areas like Scranton and Pittston. Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport is an 8-mile drive away and offers flights to cities such as Chicago and New York.

Luzerne County health and safety
While locals of West Wyoming can enjoy the outdoors freely, they must be cautious as the Susquehanna River and Abraham Creek flow through the area and can sometimes be prone to flooding. Residents are always close to medical care, with Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre Hospital only 8 miles away.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
