The neighborhood grew out of the region's historic coal era, leaving behind dense, friendly residential streets and a strong sense of local community. Getting around is simple, as Route 309 and the Cross Valley Expressway give residents quick access to downtown Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, and Interstate 81 for easy regional travel.
Families here are served by the Wilkes-Barre Area School District and enjoy access to neighborhood parks along with a branch of the Osterhout Free Library. Everyday shopping, dining, and healthcare are right down the road along local commercial corridors and in neighboring towns.
