About this home

Rare Ward 6 investment opportunity in the heart of New Brunswick's highly desirable Rutgers rental market. This home offers a combination that is difficult to find: 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, approved occupancy for up to 9 people, an expansive off-street parking area, and a huge detached 3-car garage. For an investor, or a buyer looking to provide accommodations for tenants while owning an investment property, this property provides a spacious and flexible layout with a bedroom and full bath on the main level, additional bedrooms and baths upstairs, and multiple common living areas that work well for a larger household. A full basement provides additional storage and laundry space. The property has been impeccably maintained. In a neighborhood where parking is at a premium, the oversized driveway/parking area and detached 3-car garage provide exceptional utility for tenants, vehicles, and storage. Combine that with its Ward 6 location, proximity to Rutgers University, and current 9-person occupancy, and the property offers many of the characteristics investors specifically seek in the College Avenue rental market. Whether you're expanding an existing New Brunswick portfolio or looking for a property with strong potential for university-oriented rental tenancy while also serving as a long-term investment, 18 Robinson offers a compelling combination of location, occupancy, space, and parking that is increasingly difficult to duplicate.
