Overview

Description

Attention investors. This solid brick four-unit features four two-bedroom townhouse-style apartments in an excellent Old North Columbus location. Walkable to cafes, neighborhood shopping, the bus line, and the bike path--this is exactly where long-term rental demand stays strong. Current rents are $1,100, $1000, $1,000, and $1,040, with market rents closer to $1,200 per unit, offering clear value-add potential through rent growth and selective updates. Two of the units have central air; the interior units do not and feature older furnaces--giving the next owner a straightforward path to improving cash flow. Owner pays water and sewer; tenants pay electric. Brick construction, a proven unit mix, and a location that continues to appreciate make this a strong long-term hold or repositioning opportunity in one of Columbus's most consistent rental corridors. Opportunities like this in Old North don't last--move on it.
