Located at 581 S 17th St, Newark, NJ, this well-positioned 2-family home offers a powerful opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants. Each unit features an identical 3-bedroom, 1-bath layout with spacious living areas and strong rental appeal, making it ideal for consistent income and long-term value. The property is fully occupied on month-to-month leases, with tenants currently being assisted through professional relocation creating flexibility for a new owner to move in, set market rents, or both. For an owner-occupant, this is a prime house-hacking opportunity; live in one unit while the other helps offset your mortgage and build equity faster. Located in a commuter-friendly area with access to major highways, public transit, shopping, and dining, this property checks both lifestyle and investment boxes. From a market standpoint, multifamily demand in Newark and Essex County continues to rise, with home values increasing approximately 5"7% year-over-year and strong rental demand supporting long-term growth. This positions the property as a smart buy in a market trending upward.Whether you're looking to live strategically or invest intelligently, this is an opportunity to do both while securing a foothold in one of North Jersey's most active real estate markets!
