Pittston City and Pittston Township sit in the Wyoming Valley of Luzerne County, roughly 10 miles south of Scranton along the Susquehanna River. Pittston's strong Italian-American heritage, well-established residential neighborhoods, and close proximity to the Wyoming Valley's employment centers make it a desirable community — but its pre-1950 housing stock creates the same challenges facing other NEPA cities for homeowners with properties in less-than-perfect condition.
Pittston's Real Estate Landscape
Pittston benefits from its location on Route 315 and Interstate 81 — it's a practical commuter community for both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre employment centers, and that connectivity supports housing demand. The city's older home inventory still creates challenges for sellers with deferred maintenance or estate situations, however. Pittston Township (a separate municipality from the city) offers slightly newer housing stock and is served by the Pittston Area School District.
Like much of the Wyoming Valley, Pittston's floodplain areas along the Susquehanna present ongoing flood insurance challenges for traditional buyers and their lenders. The 1972 Agnes flood is still felt in the institutional memory of the region's real estate market.

Selling Your Pittston, PA House — Common Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your Pittston home fast for cash.

| Pittston Township | 18641 | $120K–$185K | More suburban character; better schools; higher demand |
| Avoca | 18641 | $110K–$160K | Adjacent; airport proximity; solid working-class demand |
| Dupont | 18641 | $105K–$155K | Wyoming Valley community; stable demand |

Pittston's Role in the Wyoming Valley Market
Pittston occupies a central position in the Wyoming Valley metropolitan area — equidistant between Scranton (15 minutes north via I-81) and Wilkes-Barre (12 minutes south). This positioning makes Pittston a natural commuter community for workers in both cities, creating sustained housing demand from a broad base of buyers.
The Route 315 / I-81 corridor through Pittston Township has attracted significant commercial and light industrial development, providing local employment that supports the housing market. The Pittston Area School District serves the township and is a meaningful quality differentiator from Pittston City's schools.
Coal History and Its Real Estate Implications
Pittston was one of the most productive anthracite coal communities in the Wyoming Valley — and its real estate carries the legacy of that history:
- Knox Mine Disaster (1959): The Knox Mine disaster — where the Susquehanna River broke through into an underground mine, killing 12 miners and permanently altering the region's coal industry — occurred at Port Griffith, just south of Pittston. The disaster also contributed to subsidence and drainage issues throughout the lower Wyoming Valley.
- Mine subsidence: Properties in lower-lying portions of Pittston City and along the river have documented subsidence exposure from the dense anthracite workings beneath the Wyoming Valley floor.
- Susquehanna River flood risk: Like Wilkes-Barre, portions of Pittston near the river face flood zone designations. The 2011 Tropical Storm Lee flooding affected areas of Pittston. Check FEMA flood maps before listing or buying properties near the river.
Why Pittston Homeowners Sell to Simply Sold RE
We see consistent volume from Pittston sellers across several recurring situations:
- Inherited properties from Pittston families with deep roots — multi-generational homes passing through probate
- Landlords exiting the market as tenant issues and maintenance costs make Pittston rentals less profitable
- Flood-zone properties that retail buyers and their lenders are reluctant to finance due to insurance costs
- Properties in Pittston City needing substantial work — the city's older housing stock requires significant investment that doesn't always pencil out for sellers to undertake
