About Kelayres
Tucked away on Broad Mountain in northeastern Pennsylvania, Kelayres is a quiet, close-knit village of around 500 residents. Locals pronounce the name "Key-lar-es," and the neighborhood sits directly beside McAdoo in Schuylkill County. The community has deep roots in the area's coal-mining heritage, and today it offers a peaceful residential atmosphere surrounded by wooded hills and scenic mountain ridges.

Families here are part of the Hazleton Area School District, with younger children attending McAdoo-Kelayres Elementary and Middle School just down the street. Daily errands, shopping, and dining usually take residents into McAdoo or nearby Hazleton, keeping essentials within a quick drive. With local bus links connecting through Hazleton and Schuylkill County, Kelayres offers an easy, affordable spot for anyone looking for a slower pace in the mountains.
