Saint Johns is a small community in Luzerne County served by a single-building post office that maintains 56 PO Boxes. The ZIP code operates with primarily rural carrier routes, reflecting the scattered nature of settlement in this area of northeastern Pennsylvania.
Despite having Classification P status, the post office serves at least one street route along Saint Johns Road. The facility doesn't offer city carrier delivery, but rural carriers handle residential delivery in the surrounding area. The 10 businesses operating here rely on a mix of PO Box and street delivery options.
The community sits in northeastern Pennsylvania, with the nearest recognized neighborhoods including Warrior Run and Sugar Notch, both over 10 miles away in the Scranton metro area. This distance reinforces Saint Johns' role as a standalone rural service point rather than a suburb of larger communities.
With only Saint Johns Road appearing in ZIP+4 records, the street infrastructure here is minimal. The single road name reflects a small, focused service area where most mail goes to PO Boxes rather than street addresses.
