Description

This five-unit multifamily investment property near The Ohio State University is located in the highly desirable University District of Columbus, Ohio, positioned between Summit Street and High Street and within walking distance to campus. The prime location supports strong and consistent demand for Ohio State off-campus housing, driven by the university's large student population and close proximity to academic buildings, dining, retail, and public transportation.
The property features a balanced unit mix of two townhouse-style units and three apartment-style units, with each residence offering two bedrooms and one bathroom. All units include equally sized bedrooms, a highly attractive feature for student and roommate living. The townhouse-style layouts provide added privacy with separation between living and sleeping spaces, while the apartment-style units offer efficient, functional floor plans well-suited to the student rental market.
Currently monthly rent is $4K/month.
Please do not disturb current tenants.

    "Plenty of sidewalks, not that much public grass for the dog to use. I would recommend sticking to the parks or near the parks, then explore the surrounding neighborhoods and side streets alike. German village is very fun and exciting area to live in, plenty of restaurants and parks to spend your time walking your dog through. "
