Neighborhood

The Hill Section neighborhood surrounds the University of Scranton with historic Tudor Revival-style homes dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Living in this walkable neighborhood puts you near the center of Scranton's busy commercial district. The Hill Section maintains connection to its past through events at the Lackawanna Historical Society, such as the Historic Hill House Tour. Locals wishing to escape city life don't have to go far, because Nay Aug Park is a short walk away from their apartment.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Sad to be leaving

I have lived in one of the two bedroom apartments with my roommate for two years while attending graduate school and this apartment complex is absolutely beautiful and historic. I have never felt safer than I have living here. Everyone in the building is friendly and maintenance is quick and efficient. We have had the occasional issue with plumbing here and there but it was solved quickly. My only critique of this building is that I wish there were more electrical outlets in the bathroom and kitchen! This building will always have a place in my heart and I am so sad to be leaving.
