About South

Side

South Side, located between Downtown Scranton and the Moosic section, is a residential and industrial Scranton neighborhood with a hillside street grid and a working-rail backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Cedar Avenue near the Cedar Avenue Bridge, where corner bars, pizza counters, and longtime storefronts set a lived-in rhythm. Community pillars include the Scranton Iron Furnaces, the Electric City Trolley Museum, and the Steamtown National Historic Site nearby. Rows of compact houses and small apartment buildings line steep blocks, with valley views opening toward the Lackawanna River corridor. Side streets feel quieter, while the main corridors carry the day-to-day motion of shops and traffic.
