Scranton Overview

Scranton, PA, may seem like a calm town, but it's got a history well-associated with innovation and endurance. It's home to a couple of historic firsts and anchors a large metropolitan region while still maintaining a more compact size and moderate population. People living in apartments in Scranton will find that the city is relatively simple to negotiate while it still offers enough to keep residents busy.

What is the history of Scranton?

Scranton was home to several mining industries, especially iron, anthracite, and coal. It's also known as the Electric City because it installed electric lights in December 1880, shortly after Thomas Edison's light bulb had been improved enough to actually be used commercially. Scranton is also home to the first electric streetcar system.

How is the weather in Scranton?

Scranton is in northeast Pennsylvania, near the point where the borders of New York and New Jersey meet. It's got a typical southern-northeast climate: cold and definitely snowy in winter, with highs in the 20s and 30s, humid with a high heat index in summer, with temperatures in the 80s to 90s, and relatively reasonable in the short spring and fall, with temperatures in late spring and early fall hitting the 60s and 70s. Humidity percent throughout the year tends to be in the 70s. Snow tends to stay in the late-fall/winter/early spring months.

How do I get around town?

Due to the cold winter weather and humid summer weather, residents of Scranton will benefit from either having their own cars or carpooling. The County of Lackawanna Transit System, also called COLTS, provides bus transportation around the county and not just to Scranton. Note that COLTS buses sometimes end service early on holidays. Scranton also has a Greyhound station for long-distance bus service, and Amtrak has a station in Harrisburg, southwest of Scranton.

What is the Scranton commute like?

Scranton is served mainly by Interstates 476 and 81. State routes 11 and 6 are also prominent highways. Commuting is mainly done via car, with commute time relatively short, most commutes come in under 15 minutes.

What are the local media outlets?

"The ""Times-Tribune"" is a major paper in Scranton, though the surrounding cities all have their own local papers as well. Television viewers who don't have cable have access to the major networks. As a mid-sized city in a mid-sized metro region, Scranton does have access to a number of radio stations, though many broadcast from nearby cities and even New York and New Jersey."

Why live in Scranton, PA?

Scranton and its nearby metro region, plus its proximity to two other states, give residents a chance to experience diverse food, culture, and fun while still offering access to the nearby countryside. It's a good-sized city that has a lot to do, but it's not an overwhelmingly huge place that could make residents feel lost.

What Scranton landmarks should I see?

"Scranton has several landmarks downtown that honor the city's history both real and... TV. As the location of the fictional Dunder-Mifflin in the American version of ""The Office,"" Scranton is home to an odd self-guided historical tour of landmarks from the show. The tour is unofficial, but those interested can look up show landmarks online. As for more historical places, check out the Victorian gothic style of the Scranton Municipal Building, the French gothic Albright Memorial Library, the castle-fortress-style Lackawanna County Prison, and several other buildings."

What is there to do around Scranton?

Visit everything from museums to galleries to historical sites in Scranton. The Steamtown National Historic Site hosts a collection of train cars and equipment, Lake Scranton is east of the city, with a walking path, and the Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museumand Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour Complex both offer historical tours of those industries.

Any annual festivals or Scranton events to know?

Where is the best place to move in Scranton?

Residents looking for apartments in Scranton may want to check out the neighborhoods of Clarks Summit, Dallas, and Forty Fort, among others. Housing is relatively affordable in Scranton, and residents will find most areas give them easy access to the rest of the city.
