Why Wilkes-Barre
Why We Buy Multifamily In Wilkes-Barre
Three things keep Wilkes-Barre apartments leased: Wilkes University and King’s College, Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, and distribution centers along the I-81 corridor.
On the Susquehanna River in the Wyoming Valley, Wilkes-Barre is a former coal city whose rental housing is mostly older doubles and small apartment buildings. Colleges, hospitals, and warehouse jobs supply tenants, and low price points reward operators who manage expenses tightly.
Our search covers Downtown Wilkes-Barre, South Wilkes-Barre, Parsons, and Kingston. Small walk-ups, garden communities, and mixed-use buildings with apartments above retail are all in scope.
