Moscow, PA

Tucked into the Pocono foothills about fifteen minutes southeast of Scranton, Moscow is a quiet, close-knit borough with a classic small-town feel. It is a peaceful place to settle down, where tree-lined streets wind past friendly neighborhoods and scenic stretches of Roaring Brook. Families and outdoor lovers appreciate the easy access to green space, from a handful of well-kept community parks to the expanding North Pocono trail network. On weekends, you might catch a youth baseball game at the park, visit the local library, or watch seasonal vintage train excursions pull into the historic restored railroad station.
