Characteristics

Transportation

This borough is particularly car friendly. Most houses for sale are a rather short drive from the closest highway, such as Pennsylvania Tpke NE Exn, and parking is quite easy. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for residents in this part of the Wyoming Valley metropolitan area as running daily errands is at times challenging without a car. It is also occasionally challenging to travel by bike in this borough as the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there is a significant amount of hills.

Services

In all but a limited number of cases, a car is required in this part of the Wyoming Valley metropolitan area to reach the closest grocery store. Nevertheless, it is generally a rather short trip to the closest pharmacy, which can provide some staple foods. There are also a few opportunities for those who appreciate nearby restaurants and cafes. Regarding education, it can be very hard to access high schools and primary schools as a pedestrian from homes for sale in Moosic. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.

Character

Moosic is a borough to buy a home in for those who prefer a chill ambience. As there are few pedestrians, Moosic is relatively quiet; however noise levels are higher closer to I-81, Pennsylvania Tpke NE Exn, one of the railway lines or the airport (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Intl). Parks aren't well-spread out, which makes it rather challenging to reach them from a lot of locations in this part of the Wyoming Valley metropolitan area. Despite that, there are over 50 parks close by for residents to explore, like Montage Mountain Wildflower Sanctuary and Pinchot State Forest.
