Blakely may be named in honor of a naval hero, but the little town was quick to step away after Bob Mellow, the namesake of their public sports complex "Mellow Park," was sent to prison. Oops! Luckily even despite this minor embarrassment, it wasn't enough to overshadow the charming delights of this little village.
Blakely, Pennsylvania, is a small neighborhood in northern Scranton. This suburb has a population of 6,564 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census, and it enjoys the low housing costs associated with northeastern Pennsylvania. This area is rich with natural beauty, from the mountain ranges to the numerous lakes that dot the landscape. Blakely is close to Scranton, but still far enough removed that you aren't dealing with the hustle, bustle, and noise that living in this larger city brings to your housing situation.
