Characteristics
Transportation
Avoca is an extraordinarily good part of the Wyoming Valley metropolitan area for traveling by car. Nearby highways, such as I-81, are very easy to access from any location in Avoca, and it is very convenient to find a place to park. Cycling is challenging in this part of the Wyoming Valley metropolitan area because bike riders encounter a considerable amount of hills, and the bicycling network is not very comprehensive. It is also difficult for pedestrians to move around in this borough because few daily errands can be run without a vehicle.
Services
Primary schools tend to be a very long distance away, and there are no high schools in Avoca. In terms of eating, property owners in this borough commonly need a vehicle to access one of approximately 10 grocery stores. Nevertheless, getting to the closest pharmacy and thus some basic food items is generally straightforward. Residents are served by approximately 30 restaurants and coffee shops as well.
Character
Avoca is a great borough for home buyers who enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. Although the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this borough finding one of the about 10 nightlife venues is very easy as they are generally located very close by. Main Street in particular offers a great variety of places to go out at night. However, there are about 20 green spaces nearby for residents to relax in, including Pinchot State Forest, and they are very well-distributed, which makes it easy to access them.
