Property Description

The Park Apartments in South St. Paul has been proudly owned and self managed for over 25 years. It is located in a first ring suburb of the Twin Cities in Dakota county just off highway 494 and in between both highway 52 and highway 61. This all brick and stucco twelve unit was originally constructed in 1978 and has received many upgrades including renovated units in five of the twelve apartments, double hung vinyl replacement windows throughout, freshly painted common areas, newer hallway carpeting and entrances. The long term owner has meticulously cared for the property and is offering this as a low maintenance turnkey asset for a new investor. One thing that makes this apartment building unique versus other similar size buildings is that each unit has electric baseboard heaters which the tenants pay for reducing the owners operational costs. Average in-place rents for the two-bedrooms are 1,337.00/month and the one-bedroom rents for $1,135.00/month. There are eight detached garages which brings in an additional $600.00/month. The city of South St. Paul is situated on the west bank of the Mississippi River and just south of St. Paul, close to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), many scenic parks including Kaposia Landing and the Mississippi River Greenway. South St. Paul does not have rent stabilization ordinances which allows an owner the freedom to continue to renovate and improve and increase its annual gross income.
