With its charming Tudors and vintage farmhouses, Taylor is a pleasant setting with picture-perfect views of the surrounding hills. The residential areas of the borough center on Pine Hills Country Club, a popular spot for golf and community events. Drive down Main St. on the east side of Taylor and get a taste of the Italian restaurants and classic delis.
Taylor provides more space than you’d find in the center of Scranton, as evidenced by the sprawling nature preserves just across the Lackawanna River. Taylor’s location between Old Forge and the city of Scranton means there’s plenty of nearby amenities and historical sites to see. Commuters are set perfectly between I-476 and I-81 too.
