Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This well-maintained five-unit apartment building offers a unit mix of three studios and two one-bedroom apartments. Two of the five units have been renovated, and the property is served by a single Weil-McLain gas boiler that provides heat to all units. Ownership currently covers gas and electric.

Recent capital improvements include a new roof in 2022, a repaved driveway in 2016, and the majority of windows replaced in 2025, which helps reduce near-term expenditure for a new owner.

The current rental income is approximately $6,200 per month, with additional upside described by the seller through rent increases to market levels and potential operating improvements related to separating utilities.
