    What's special

    Separate hot water heater
    Prime investment opportunity in the highly desirable Spruce Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia. Ideally positioned within the thriving University City area, 5241 Walnut Street is a well maintained triplex offering three spacious 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartments, each occupying its own floor. The second floor unit is currently vacant, providing an immediate opportunity for an owner occupant or the ability to lease at today's market rents. The first floor apartment features its own private entrance along with direct access to the rear yard and unfinished basement, creating additional storage and utility space. Each apartment is equipped with its own HVAC system providing central heating and air conditioning, in unit washer and dryer, separate hot water heater, and individually metered water, gas, and electric. The owner also benefits from a separate electrical meter serving the common areas, simplifying property management. Spruce Hill continues to be one of Philadelphia's strongest rental markets thanks to its location adjacent to University City, one of the region's largest employment and innovation hubs. The neighborhood is home to a significant renter population and is consistently sought after by students, university faculty, healthcare professionals, researchers, and young professionals due to its proximity to major employers and educational institutions. University City alone supports nearly 80,000 jobs across healthcare, higher education, technology, and life sciences, creating a deep and stable tenant pool. Residents enjoy convenient access to the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, as well as leading medical institutions including Penn Medicine and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Multiple SEPTA trolley routes, the Market Frankford Line, regional rail connections, and nearby 30th Street Station provide excellent connectivity throughout Philadelphia and beyond. The neighborhood also offers an abundance of local restaurants, cafés, parks, and shopping, further enhancing its long term appeal to renters. Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or take advantage of an owner occupied opportunity with rental income, 5241 Walnut Street offers strong fundamentals in one of Philadelphia's most consistently desirable investment locations.
