Kingston Borough sits directly across the Susquehanna River from Wilkes-Barre, connected by the Market Street Bridge, and functions as one of Wilkes-Barre's primary residential suburbs. Kingston has a stronger residential character than many NEPA communities — tree-lined streets, quality single-family housing, and a suburban feel that supports above-average demand in the NEPA market. The Wyoming Valley's "Back Mountain" communities (Dallas, Shavertown, Harveys Lake) are accessed through Kingston, creating additional traffic and economic activity.
Kingston's Position in the Wilkes-Barre Market
Kingston commands moderate premium pricing relative to Wilkes-Barre proper, reflecting its suburban character and proximity to the Wyoming Valley's better school districts. Kingston Borough is part of the Wyoming Valley West School District, and the nearby Back Mountain communities are served by the Dallas School District and others. This educational landscape supports residential demand — but dated properties or estate situations still face the same inspection and financing challenges as elsewhere in NEPA.
Like all Wyoming Valley communities, Kingston has flood zone considerations near the Susquehanna. The Dyke System protecting Kingston and Wilkes-Barre (rebuilt significantly after the Agnes flood) provides some protection, but FEMA flood map designations still affect certain properties' financing options.
ZIP: 18704. Directly across from Wilkes-Barre via Market Street Bridge. Adjacent: Forty Fort (north), Edwardsville (west), Pringle. Gateway to Back Mountain communities (Dallas, Harveys Lake). Key roads: Market Street, Wyoming Avenue, Third Avenue.
Back Mountain Corridor
Kingston serves as the primary gateway to Luzerne County's Back Mountain region — a higher-income suburban corridor that includes Dallas Township, Harveys Lake, Jackson Township, and Lake Township. We buy homes throughout this corridor as well, including lakefront properties on Harveys Lake and suburban homes in the Dallas School District.

Selling Your Kingston, PA House — Common Questions
What Kingston homeowners ask us before they decide to sell.
Kingston Real Estate Market — Across the River from Wilkes-Barre
Kingston is one of the Wyoming Valley's best-liked places to live, a borough of roughly 13,000 people directly across the Susquehanna River from downtown Wilkes-Barre. Its combination of walkability, quality schools, and strong community character creates a premium market that consistently outperforms comparable Wilkes-Barre City properties.
| Area / Price Range | Typical Profile | Market Notes |
|---|---|---|
| $130K–$175K | Older single-family; some updates needed | Active demand; FHA financing common |
| $175K–$240K | Updated 3–4 bed; move-in ready | Fastest segment; multiple offers common |
| $240K–$330K | Premium Kingston addresses; larger homes | Strong professional buyer demand |
| $330K+ | Top-tier Kingston; near Forty Fort border | Specialty market; discerning buyers |
Kingston and Flood Risk — Susquehanna River Proximity
Kingston's location directly on the Susquehanna River is both its greatest appeal and the main thing buyers worry about. The 2011 Tropical Storm Lee flooding severely impacted portions of Kingston and neighboring communities. Understanding flood zone status is critical for any Kingston property transaction.
- FEMA Zone AE: Properties within the 100-year flood plain along Kingston's riverfront sections are designated Zone AE and require flood insurance with federally-backed mortgages. NFIP rates for Zone AE properties in Kingston typically run $1,800–$4,500/year.
- Market impact of flood zones: Properties in confirmed flood zones take longer to sell via traditional listing and command significant price concessions compared to equivalent non-flood-zone properties. Buyers and their lenders are increasingly sophisticated about flood risk screening.
- 2011 Lee aftermath: Some Kingston properties were remediated after the Lee flooding; others have undisclosed or partially-remediated damage. Disclosure of flood history is required under PA Seller Disclosure Law.
- Simply Sold RE buys flood zone properties: We purchase Kingston properties in FEMA flood zones, with prior flood damage history, or requiring flood remediation. We factor flood history and insurance costs into our evaluation without the financing complications retail buyers encounter.
Kingston's Character — Wyoming Valley's Most Livable Borough
Kingston benefits from proximity to Wilkes-Barre's urban amenities while maintaining a residential borough character. Key appeal factors that support strong home values:
- Wyoming Valley West School District: The school district serving Kingston is a meaningful quality driver for family buyers.
- Walkability and connectivity: Kingston's grid layout, Market Street commercial corridor, and proximity to downtown Wilkes-Barre make it one of NEPA's most walkable communities.
- Forty Fort and Wyoming adjacency: Kingston borders Forty Fort and sits just south of Wyoming, two of the Wyoming Valley's most prestigious addresses, which supports a pricing floor at the higher end of the Kingston market.
