Dinner is one floor away.
Bank + Vine occupies the building’s original banking hall — marble, brass, and arched windows intact. On-site salon services share the ground floor.
It’s the kind of convenience that sounds small until it’s February and you don’t need a coat to go out to dinner.
A genuinely walkable downtown.

Downtown Wilkes-Barre, on foot.
Wilkes-Barre's downtown is unusually compact for a city its size — roughly seven square miles along the Susquehanna, with Public Square at its centre and the River Common stretching along the riverbank. For anyone looking for apartments in downtown Wilkes-Barre, that density is the appeal: errands, dinner, and a riverside walk all happen without moving the car.
264 Residences sits at the southern end of that core. Wilkes University is a seven-minute walk and King's College a short drive, which makes the building a practical choice for faculty, graduate students, and medical staff at Wilkes-Barre General. Our one- and two-bedroom apartments suit people who want a real downtown address rather than a complex on the bypass.
The building itself is part of the city's early-twentieth-century boom — the era that gave Wilkes-Barre its grand commercial blocks, ornate rowhouses, and detailed stonework. Very little of that stock has been restored for modern living. This is some of it.
