Clarks Summit pairs small-town ease with convenient access, just north of Scranton in Lackawanna County. Along State Street, coffee shops, bakeries, and locally owned restaurants create a walkable hub, while commuters appreciate quick connections to I-81 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Neighborhood blocks feel welcoming and well-kept.
Families choose the area for its strong schools. Abington Heights School District offers respected academics, arts, and athletics, with neighborhood schools feeding a highly regarded high school. Lifelong learners frequent the Abington Community Library, a busy branch with maker programs, book clubs, and community events. Higher education is close at hand at Clarks Summit University, which brings lectures, performances, and NCAA Division III athletics to town.
Outdoor time comes easy: the Countryside Conservancy maintains the multi-use Trolley Trail that threads through borough neighborhoods, and nearby Lackawanna State Park adds miles of hiking, a scenic lake, and four-season recreation. Arts and enrichment thrive at The Gathering Place, a community hub for classes, concerts, and festivals, while families enjoy mini-golf and go-karts at Lahey Family Fun Park.
