Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is a three-unit triplex with two units in the main house and one unit located above the garage. The first floor has been used as a daycare for up to eight children, and the building has a commercial background, originally operating as a plumbing company and remaining commercial thereafter. The seller indicates that, with the full price, $1,000 will be provided for paint.

The property is located in Allentown City, Pennsylvania (Lehigh County) at 30 N 2nd Street, and is listed under zoning R-Mh. Public remarks also note that a zoning change application could be pursued to revert to residential use. The remarks further mention that the property next to it is residential and that “mix use FHA accepted,” though no additional details are provided about the adjacent parcel.

For tenants, investors, or owner-operators, the existing three-unit configuration supports a hands-on approach to income-producing residential living. Buyers should also consider the property’s commercial history and the stated need to coordinate any future use through the zoning process, particularly given the prior daycare operation and the possibility of returning to residential zoning. With unit mix across the house and garage level, the layout may appeal to buyers seeking an owner-managed, multi-unit setup.

Key Highlights

  • 3‑unit layout: 2 units in the house and 1 unit above the garage
  • Commercial use history includes daycare for up to 8 children (first floor)
  • Originally a plumbing company; property has continued as commercial use
