The route heads east-northeast through a mix of farms and woods, curving northeast as it passes through the residential community of Penn Run. The road turns east-northeast into more open agricultural areas with some homes, passing through Manor. PA 553 continues into a mix of farmland and woodland with residences as it comes to an intersection with PA 403.

The route passes through Jewtown and heads through more wooded areas with some fields and homes, curving to the east.
