You can't buy a loft in South Abington Township; however, you can buy either a loft OR McMansion in a city like Scranton. The Electric City has failed to capitalize upon its diversity in housing styles and options. Even Wilkes-Barre has more lofts currently under development. |
And people are going to look at public transportation (e.g. Amtrak and regional rail) Also, there are plans to turn the old Yeungling Ice Creamery (across from brewry) into an upscale condo building.
