Summit Pointe Apartments

I’ve lived here for a few months, and so far haven’t had any issues. I live in a one bedroom apartment on the third floor (which is actually only up one flight of stairs since you enter on the second floor). The staff has been attentive to my requests and courteous. The property is well maintained and only shows a few minor areas of its age.
The noise from Rt 6 and 81 is noticeable even though they’ll tell you you won’t hear it when they take you into the demo building. It is not loud enough to bother me, though, and I don’t even notice it anymore except when a truck hits its break retarders going down the hill a little too hard.
Having an enclosed balcony is awesome and my view overlooks downtown which is gorgeous at night. I always get complements from guests on the view. It is big enough for two good sized patio chairs and a small table. I frequently sit outside in early evenings to relax. Also a great way to end a date with a glass of wine overlooking the city.
My sole complaint is the lack of insulation in the walls and floor. You can hear everything from surrounding units through the floor and walls. I’m fortunate enough to live above everyone so I don’t have to deal with footsteps but I can imagine it can get annoying. The heat also transfers between the units as I didn’t have to turn my heat on at all for most of the mild winter we just had and it maintained a warm 68–70 °F temperature. The converse is also true, however, and I need to have my air on when the temperature exceeds 75 outside.
Not a bad place to live, conveniently located near many restaurants and the Viewmont Mall. Right off of the 81÷84÷380 junction and only a 5 minute drive to the PA Turnpike. 8 – 10 minutes from downtown Scranton and plenty of nightlife.
I would definitely recommend Summit Pointe to anyone looking for an upscale apartment in the area.
