Moosic, PA

Tucked along the Lackawanna River right between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Moosic is a friendly, quiet borough of about 6,000 residents. The community grew during the valley's early mining and rail boom, but today it offers a comfortable suburban setting with easy access to outdoor recreation. Local parks connect right to the river corridor, and nearby Montage Mountain brings skiing, outdoor concerts, and Triple-A baseball games at PNC Field just minutes from quiet residential streets.

Daily living in Moosic is practical and low-stress. Families share the Riverside School District with neighboring Taylor, with elementary schools located right in the borough. Getting around is simple thanks to direct access to Interstate 81 and Route 11, putting regional employers, healthcare networks, and shopping centers within a quick drive. For people moving to northeastern Pennsylvania, Moosic offers a welcoming small-town atmosphere with prime valley convenience.
