About This Home

As of October 2019

Whether you're a first-time investor, or a longtime landlord adding to your rental portfolio, you can't go wrong with this fully-rented 3.5-story triplex in the very heart of University City. It's on a small Garden Court block just around the corner from 46th & Spruce Sts., about 6 blocks west of the UPenn campus. Two 1-BR apartments, plus a 3-BR bilevel, are producing an annual gross income of $46,900. The attractive apartments - classic, well-cared-for, and with many updates - are a snap to rent.
