Why Buy a Home in Dickson City, PA?
If you are looking for a place that feels like home from day one you really have to check out Dickson City. It has that classic Northeastern Pennsylvania vibe where everyone knows their neighbors but you also have the best shopping and dining in the whole region right down the street. It is the kind of place where you can grab a great coffee in the morning and be out on a hiking trail or at a massive shopping center in just five minutes.
One of the best things about living here is how easy it is to get around. You are basically sitting right on Interstate 81 and Route 6 which makes getting into Scranton a breeze. If you ever need to head toward New York or Philly you can hop on the PA Turnpike or Interstate 84 and be there in about two hours. Plus the Wilkes Barre Scranton International Airport is only about fifteen minutes away. It is so convenient for anyone who needs to commute or just loves to get away for the weekend without a stressful drive.
The housing market in Dickson City is actually really approachable compared to most places these days. Right now the median home price is sitting around $200,000 which is a huge win for your budget. The market is definitely competitive because people recognize the value here but it is still balanced enough that you can find a great place. You will see a lot of solid well kept homes that have tons of character and you definitely get a lot more house for your money here than you would in the bigger cities nearby.
If you have kids or are thinking about the future you will be glad to know the area is part of the Mid Valley School District. It is a smaller tight knit district that serves Dickson City along with Olyphant and Throop. People around here really get behind the Mid Valley Spartans and there is a lot of local pride in the schools. Because it is a community focused system the teachers and staff really get to know the families which makes a big difference in how the kids grow up and learn.
Your paycheck really goes a lot further here which is something I always tell people. The cost of living in Dickson City stays right around the national average and the housing costs are actually even lower than that. Even things like groceries and healthcare tend to be more affordable than what you see in the major metros. When you add in the manageable property taxes in Lackawanna County it just makes sense financially. You get to enjoy a high quality of life and still have money left over to enjoy all the local spots.
I would love to help you find the right spot in this community so you can see for yourself why it is such a great place to live. If you want to see what is currently on the market or have any questions about the neighborhoods just contact us at Classic Properties and we can get started.
