About Hughestown

Hughestown is a small, quiet borough tucked right beside Pittston in Luzerne County. Rooted in anthracite coal history, the community today is largely residential, relaxed, and close-knit. Robert Yaple Memorial Park is a popular spot for youth sports and afternoon walks, while nearby U.S. 11 keeps grocery runs and commutes across the Wyoming Valley simple. For prospective homebuyers, it offers an affordable, down-to-earth setting with easy access to both Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.
