Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This for-sale multifamily property consists of six apartment units: five 2-bedroom, 1-bath units and one 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit. The 1-bedroom unit is currently occupied as the manager’s unit. Tenants are responsible for electric, while the owner pays water. Coin-operated washers and dryers are located on-site in a common area to the rear of the building. Each unit has an assigned parking lane that holds up to two cars. The seller states that all underground plumbing has been replaced a few years ago.

The property is located at 3005 LAKE VILLA Drive in Metairie, in Jefferson Parish. Public remarks note easy access to the interstate and Veterans Hwy, along with nearby bus stops, restaurants, and grocery options.

For tenants or operators, the building offers a straightforward mix of 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom floorplans, along with shared on-site laundry facilities and designated parking for residents. The stated utility split between tenant electric and owner water may help streamline budgeting and operating expectations. Buyers should perform their own due diligence, including flood-zone verification, as noted in the remarks.
