No advice but wondering why you are moving? Coopersburg seems like a decent place from what I've heard. Clarks Summit is comparable but higher climate so you are going to get more snow than you would in C-burg. You have a position in the area? I work out of Clarks Summit and there are plenty of threads about it over the years. Your search button is your friend.

All of Clarks Summit is nice, there is only one school district in Clarks Summit. If you can afford it look in Waverly...even nicer.

Great school district- Abington Heights. Nice suburban area for families and kids. I would also recommend Clark's Green and Dalton in addition to Clark's Summit and Waverly. The Abingtons are definitely a positive in NEPA. Now the negatives:

A. Horrible economy in Scranton. Highest unemployment rate in the state.
B. Increasing crime rate
C. Nepotism on steroids. Politics are ugly.
D. Trailer Trash in many of the rural areas
E. Lack of diversity
F. Even crappier weather than Lehigh Valley

Clark's Summit is a nice area but take note of what surrounds it.
