Both units feature 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and currently rent for $730 each. Tenants pay their own electric bill, while water and gas is paid by the landlord. The rental certificate will be provided upon request. Opportunities like this don’t hang around long—especially at this price point. Schedule your showing before someone else does.
