About
Providence
Providence, located between North Scranton and West Scranton, is a residential and hillside Scranton neighborhood with a patchwork of older blocks and broad valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Providence Road near the Keyser Avenue corridor, where corner bars, takeout counters, and small storefronts set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Housing leans toward compact early-20th-century homes and duplexes, with porches and tight setbacks that keep streetscapes cohesive. Marywood University adds a campus edge and a regular flow of activity along nearby arterials. The Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple and the Marketplace at Steamtown anchor bigger nights out a short drive away. McDade Park and the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail frame outdoor time with fields, paths, and river scenery.
