Hill Section, located between Nay Aug Park and Downtown Scranton, is a residential and historic Scranton neighborhood with steep, tree-lined streets and grand, porch-front architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mulberry Street corridor near Jefferson Avenue, where corner cafes, small eateries, and long-standing storefronts meet the daily rhythm of the hill. Landmark homes and stone retaining walls give the blocks a layered, old-city feel, with stair-stepped sidewalks and deep setbacks. Cultural gravity sits close by at the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple, while The Bog and Cooper’s Seafood House anchor local dining traditions. Green space and trails at Nay Aug Park add a natural counterpoint to the dense streetscape.
