Vassar Avenue a Hot New Rental District

'8220 VassarRENTED'.inddRollins Crawford Properties is resurrecting one of South Eastlake’s most blighted streets: Vassar Avenue.

This hidden, 3-block-long street is lined with bungalows from the 1930’s, colonials from the 40’s & 50’s and and ranchers from the 1960’s. Hit hard by the recent economic down-turn, Vassar has lost many of its fine old homes to foreclosure.

RCP has begun to swing this sleepy street back in a positive direction. On August 1, we rented Vassar I  after a strenuous, 2-month, full-on restoration. Vassar II, a hot little over & under bungalow duplex, is currently under renovation. Both units are 2-bedrooms, all-electric with laundry rooms, and great for singles or couples. Unit A is scheduled for leasing by the end of September. Unit B, by the end of November. Vassar III, a fantastic 3-bedroom 2-story colonial, will be rented or sold by early 2010.

There is un-addressed opportunity on Vassar Avenue. Vassar IV and V are waiting in the wings. They need investors with vision to snap them up and spin them around. Those interested in investment opportunities on Vassar Avenue or other areas in the neighborhood should contact Marcus Rollins through the contacts page at http://www.rollinscrawford.com
