Chinchilla offers small-town calm with quick connections to city conveniences, set between the activity of Scranton and the walkable main street of Clarks Summit. Commuters appreciate fast access to Routes 6/11, I-81, and the Northeast Extension, while everyday needs are covered by nearby markets, coffee spots, and local services. Housing spans classic mid-century homes and updated builds on leafy streets, and you’re only minutes from cultural outings, hospitals, and employers across Lackawanna County.
Outdoorsy residents have an abundance of options. Hillside Park hosts lakeside sunsets, a dog park, community gardens, and seasonal events, and just north, Lackawanna State Park delivers miles of hiking and biking, paddling on the lake, fishing, and picnic pavilions. The region’s rail history comes to life along the Trolley Trail, a multi-use path linking Chinchilla’s surroundings with scenic stretches toward Dalton. On rainy days, families and lifelong learners gravitate to the Abington Community Library for programs, study spaces, and a packed events calendar.
Education is a standout. The Abington Heights School District is known for strong academics, competitive athletics, and award-winning arts, with campuses and fields just minutes from local neighborhoods. Whether you’re planning a first home, looking for more space, or getting ready to sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top real estate professional who knows Chinchilla’s market and can guide you every step of the way.
