Hickory Hills blends a laid-back, woodsy setting with everyday convenience, set among the forests of Luzerne County. Commuters reach Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton via I‑81 and I‑80, yet come home to quiet streets, starry skies, and room to breathe. Outdoor time is a given: trailheads at Nescopeck State Park and Lehigh Gorge State Park invite hiking, biking, and wildlife watching, while the nearby Susquehanna River rewards anglers and paddlers. Local farm stands, seasonal festivals, and small-town diners round out the weekend routine. Four distinct seasons keep the scenery changing, from fiery fall foliage to cool summer evenings on the porch.
Families appreciate practical schooling options and a strong pipeline to higher education. Area public schools serve the community, and respected campuses—Luzerne County Community College in Nanticoke and Penn State Wilkes‑Barre in Lehman—put certificates and degrees within easy reach. Everyday essentials are close by in Nanticoke, and you’ll find broader shopping, healthcare, and entertainment across the valley between the two regional hubs. Housing ranges from cozy woodland cottages to updated year-round homes, giving first-time buyers and downsizers plenty of choice without sacrificing access to nature.
