High-Return Investment in One of Ohio's Strongest Multifamily Markets

The Fairwood Court Apartments present a rare 20+ unit value-add renovation opportunity in Cleveland’s rapidly appreciating 44120 submarket. With Cleveland ranking as one of the top purchase-to-rent markets in the U.S., this property benefits from its prime location near world-class healthcare, research institutions, and cultural attractions.

Why Fairwood Court is a Top-Tier Value-Add Investment Opportunity in Ohio

1. Location: Steps from the Nation’s Top Medical and Educational Institutions

Cleveland Clinic (CCF) – Ranked #2 in the world and #1 in heart care, with thousands of high-income professionals in need of housing.

University Hospitals & Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) – CWRU is a top-50 research university with over 12,000 students and a high demand for student and faculty housing.

University Circle – Cleveland’s Cultural & Economic Hub – Home to The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Orchestra, Museum of Natural History, and Little Italy, attracting professionals, academics, and visitors.

2. Cleveland’s Strong Multifamily Market and Favorable Investment Metrics

One of the nation’s top purchase-to-rent markets, offering higher cap rates and stronger cash flow than coastal metro areas.

The University Circle submarket has seen a 6% increase in average rents over the past year, with further rental growth expected.

Limited multifamily supply in this high-demand area enhances property appreciation potential.

3. Recent Multifamily Sales Prove Strong Exit Potential

A 29-unit micro-efficiency apartment building just two minutes away sold for $5.1M ($176K per unit) in January 2023, setting a precedent for high-value sales in the neighborhood.
