Zip 18705 centers on Plains Township and the Parsons/Miners Mills areas just north of downtown Wilkes‑Barre, with four true seasons, leafy streets, and Susquehanna Valley views. The vibe is friendly and down‑to‑earth, shaped by deep anthracite‑coal heritage and neighborhood gatherings at churches, youth fields, and local diners and Italian bakeries. Daily errands are easy along Route 315 and nearby Kidder Street corridors, with grocery options like Wegmans and Weis, coffee spots, casual restaurants, Planet Fitness–style gyms, and big‑box shopping at nearby plazas. Weekends bring riverside walks and quick trips to Seven Tubs Nature Area, local breweries and pubs, and arena or casino events just a short drive away. It’s broadly pet‑ and family‑friendly, with pocket parks, sidewalks, and quiet residential blocks, and commuters appreciate fast I‑81, Route 309, and Cross Valley access. According to Zillow Market Trends over the past few months, the median asking rent is around the low $1,200s, with most rentals roughly $900–$1,600 depending on size and updates.

Strong neighborhood connections and community events foster a friendly atmosphere.
