Georgetown (Luzerne County), PA

Georgetown is a small, quiet residential neighborhood in Wilkes-Barre Township, located along East Northampton Street just east of the city. Like much of the Wyoming Valley, the area grew up during the region's coal mining heyday, when working families settled near the local collieries. Today, it keeps that classic northeastern Pennsylvania feel, tucked neatly between the city border and the busy corridors of Interstate 81 and Route 309.

Living here puts you close to almost everything in the valley. Georgetown itself is mostly a calm residential pocket, but you are only a few minutes from the township's major shopping plazas, restaurants, and grocery stores. Having the Mohegan Sun Arena down the road makes it easy to catch concerts and hockey games, while immediate access to the interstate makes daily commutes across Luzerne County quick and easy.
