Pikes Creek, PA

Pikes Creek is a small, quiet community in the Back Mountain region of Lake Township, Luzerne County. Home to just a couple hundred residents, it sits right at the intersection of Routes 29 and 118, surrounded by rolling hills and open country. Daily errands are easy to manage from here. Dallas is only about eight miles east on Route 118 for grocery stores, restaurants, and medical offices, while Route 29 heads straight south toward Nanticoke and the rest of the Wyoming Valley.

Families with school-age children are part of the Lake-Lehman School District, which covers kindergarten through twelfth grade. Much of the appeal of living here comes from the surrounding woods and waters. The Ceasetown Reservoir and Pikes Creek itself shape the local scenery, offering peaceful mountain views and prime wild-trout fishing right down the road. For anyone looking for privacy, fresh air, and a relaxed pace near convenient regional hubs, Pikes Creek is a comfortable and scenic place to settle down.
