278 HELEN ST, CINCINNATI, OH 45219

Court Appointed Receiver Sale – 278 Helen St. Opportunity to acquire a vacant three-story duplex totaling approximately 3,081 square feet situated on a 0.114-acre lot in Cincinnati’s desirable Mount Auburn neighborhood. Unit 1 (upstairs) features 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, Unit 2 (1st floor) features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Both units have access to the full basement. Positioned near Christ Hospital and the University of Cincinnati, the property may be well suited for student housing, furnished rentals, healthcare provider housing, or traditional multifamily rentals. Its size, layout, and location create the opportunity to capitalize on strong and consistent housing demand generated by nearby universities, hospitals, and major employment centers. The property benefits from convenient access to I-71, Downtown Cincinnati, Uptown employment districts, medical campuses, restaurants, and entertainment amenities. Rarely available in this location, the combination of vacant possession, flexible use potential, and strong surrounding demand presents an attractive opportunity for investors seeking value-add upside in one of Cincinnati’s most established urban neighborhoods.
