West Nanticoke, PA

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.
