South Side forms the vibrant southern gateway to Scranton, drawing residents with a lively sense of community, diverse local eateries, and quick access to both the city center and scenic outdoor escapes. Neighbors gather along Pittston Avenue, a hub lined with bakeries and family-owned restaurants, where everyone seems to have a favorite lunch spot or pastry. The South Side Farmers Market is the place to find farm-fresh produce, lively conversation, and local crafts, adding flavor and familiarity to weekends in the neighborhood.
Families are drawn to South Side’s educational resources, including the highly regarded John Adams Elementary School, and proximity to Scranton High School ensures easy commutes for older students. Recreation is elevated at Novembrino Park and McDade Park, with playgrounds, hiking trails, and picnic spaces appealing to all ages. The Steamtown National Historic Site and Nay Aug Park are just a short trip away, providing even more options for history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
South Side feels connected to the broader area, with downtown Scranton only minutes away and convenient access to neighboring communities like Dunmore and Minooka. These links make it easy to explore everything the Lackawanna County region has to offer, from retail to recreation.
