Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This for-sale multifamily property consists of two buildings totaling eight residential units. The buildings are described as well maintained, and the current occupancy is largely characterized as mostly month-to-month tenants, providing a straightforward operating profile for an owner. The property is set on a small lot and is listed at 6,188 square feet total building area.

The address is 84 Transit Street in Providence, RI 02906, with the site identified as being in the Fox Point area. The public remarks note proximity to historic Benefit Street as well as the waterfront and walking paths associated with India Point Park.

For buyers looking for a manageable, established rental asset, the existing unit mix and predominantly month-to-month tenancy can be a useful fit for those seeking an income-generating multifamily property with room to consider additional improvements. With zoning identified as R3, the property may be well aligned for residential income use under that designation, while the two-building configuration can appeal to operators who prefer multiple structures within one ownership.

Key Highlights

  • Prime location in the heart of Fox Point, steps from historic Benefit Street
  • Strong existing income stream with mostly month‑to‑month tenants
  • Rare 8‑unit, two‑building property
