About West Nanticoke

West Nanticoke sits tucked along the north bank of the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County, right across the water from Nanticoke. Squeezed between the river and the wooded hillsides of Plymouth Township, it feels like a quiet, scenic riverfront pocket where Route 11 serves as the main strip. Living here gives you a laid-back, small-town setting while keeping you just minutes away from neighboring communities.

Daily life here naturally revolves around the river crossings. Residents regularly head over the bridges into Nanticoke for groceries, local dining, and schools through the Greater Nanticoke Area School District. With Route 29 connecting right into the South Cross Valley Expressway, you get a quick, straightforward commute into Wilkes-Barre and easy access to the broader Wyoming Valley.
