About Mahanoy City

Mahanoy City is a small Schuylkill County borough situated in a valley at the foot of Broad Mountain in Pennsylvania’s Coal Region. The town developed rapidly during the nineteenth-century coal boom, which shaped its compact layout of traditional rowhouses, neighborhood churches, and hillside streets. For people considering a move here, the borough offers a quiet pace of life and some of the most affordable home prices in eastern Pennsylvania.
