About Nanticoke

Almost 11,000 Pennsylvanians call Nanticoke home. A self-sufficient community distanced from large metropolitans by at least 100 miles in every direction, Nanticoke provides its residents with a small-town atmosphere while maintaining the resources of a city much larger than itself. Originally built as “The Concrete City,” the town was constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's coal division to house its miners. Residents of an apartment or home for rent in Nanticoke typically commute to Scranton, several miles north, where a bunch of companies are headquartered, for work. The exceptional regional rail network is a cheap alternative for those who don’t like driving on the interstates.

Residents of a Nanticoke house or apartment for rent enjoy a variety of community activities with their fellow neighbors and participate in events including Nanticoke Night Out and a large July 4th All-Nighter. Wyoming Valley Country Club is just a few minutes away and provides breathtaking views of the river passing by as well as the surrounding mountains. The Crestwood Area School District that operates 5 schools for a consortium of 9 nearby townships operates an elementary school in Nanticoke although middle and high school students must commute to Mountain Top, a few minutes away. Luzerne County Community College is located right in the middle of Nanticoke.
