About Exeter

Exeter is a quiet, close-knit borough of around 5,500 residents tucked along the Susquehanna River in northeastern Pennsylvania. Located between West Pittston and Wyoming, it offers a peaceful residential setting right in the heart of the Wyoming Valley. Most neighborhoods feature modest single-family homes, walkable side streets, and easy access to Route 11, which connects you directly to the rest of the metro area.

For families, Exeter is home to the Wyoming Area Secondary Center, putting the district's middle and high school right in town. Daily conveniences are easy to find, from favorite local pizza parlors along Wyoming Avenue to larger retail hubs, hospitals, and employers in nearby Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. Homebuyers looking near the riverfront will want to check local flood maps, but overall, Exeter provides an affordable, low-key community with a quick commute in almost any direction.
