Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This three-unit apartment building provides a straightforward rental mix, including one efficiency unit, one 1-bedroom/1-bath unit, and one 2-bedroom/1-bath unit. Off-street parking is available for tenants. The utility arrangement is also clearly defined: gas is paid by the tenants, while all other utilities are paid by the owner.

The property is located in the Vine neighborhood in downtown Kalamazoo, offering walkability and bike-friendly access. WalkScore is listed at 71 (very walkable) and BikeScore at 60 (bikeable), which can support tenant lifestyle convenience for everyday errands and appointments.

For investors or owner-operators seeking a small multifamily asset, the unit mix provides variety across efficiency and bedroom sizes within a single building. The off-street parking helps accommodate tenant needs, while the gas-by-tenant structure can simplify operating expense management compared with fully owner-paid utilities. With three separate apartments under one roof, this configuration is often attractive for buyers looking to manage a compact residential income property.
