- Housing here is extremely affordable. An up to date, 6 bedroom house, recently sold for under $300,000. Check out zipcode 18510 on Zillow and see for yourself.
- The Beth Shalom Academy is an innovative new K-8 school. Established with the principles of providing a top-quality level of education in Secular and Judaic studies, your child is their priority. Small class sizes mean each child gets the attention and care that they need. And tuition fees are only $7,500 a year.
- We’re a small town, but we have all the amenities of Jewish life. Eruv, mikvah, kosher food, minyanim. And we are only a couple hours away from New York and New Jersey, you can easily visit and take advantage of the city.
- Scranton is close to nature and the great outdoors! The Pocono Mountains are a short drive away. Ski and snowboard in one of numerous ski resorts, and in the summer enjoy hiking, fishing, water parks and horseback riding.
