1925 E Washington St Colton Multifamily Investment
High renter concentration and dense daily-needs amenities support durable demand, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Operations can emphasize steady occupancy with targeted value-add to enhance returns.
Positioned in Colton’s inner-suburban context of the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro, the asset sits amid robust daily conveniences. Grocery access ranks 3rd of 997 metro neighborhoods, with restaurants and cafés also competitive (20th and 22nd of 997), and childcare density close behind (23rd of 997). These rankings indicate frequent trip generators and lifestyle convenience that typically bolster leasing velocity and retention.
The neighborhood shows a very high share of renter-occupied housing units, pointing to a deep tenant base for multifamily. Overall occupancy trends near the national midpoint, suggesting generally stable leasing conditions. Neighborhood rents track above national norms, while rent-to-income dynamics indicate some affordability pressure—an important consideration for pricing power and renewal strategy.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics from WDSuite indicate recent population growth with additional growth projected, alongside a gradual decrease in average household size. For investors, that combination suggests a larger renter pool over time and support for occupancy stability, particularly for well-managed assets close to daily-needs retail and services.
A noted trade-off is limited parks and pharmacy presence within the immediate neighborhood boundaries. Even so, the concentration of groceries, dining, and childcare—plus competitive neighborhood rankings within the metro—provides a solid foundation for long-term multifamily demand.
Safety metrics are mixed and warrant routine monitoring. Compared with the 997 neighborhoods in the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro, the overall crime rank (267 of 997, where lower ranks indicate higher incident levels) places the area on the higher-incident side locally. Nationally, certain categories sit in stronger safety percentiles—particularly property-related measures—though recent year-over-year violent offense trends indicate volatility that investors should underwrite conservatively.
Practical measures—lighting, access controls, and partnership with local resources—can help sustain leasing stability while keeping expense planning prudent. Revisit assumptions periodically as neighborhood conditions evolve.
Nearby employers in energy infrastructure, consumer goods, healthcare distribution, environmental services, and logistics provide a diversified employment base that supports renter demand and commute convenience for residents. Featured employers align with the area’s workforce profile and can help underpin leasing stability.

This 32-unit 1973-vintage property offers a straightforward value-add opportunity in a neighborhood with strong amenity density and a deep renter base. The asset is older than the neighborhood’s average construction year (1982), which points to targeted capital needs but also potential to capture rent premiums through renovations and system upgrades. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy trends near the national midpoint, while high renter concentration and robust daily-needs access support tenant demand and renewal potential.
Within a 3-mile radius, population and household counts are growing, and average household size is edging lower—conditions that generally expand the renter pool and support steady absorption. At the same time, local rent-to-income dynamics suggest thoughtful pricing and retention strategies are important to sustain performance. Balancing measured capex with disciplined operations positions this asset to compete well against older stock in the submarket.
- High renter concentration and amenity-rich location support stable demand
- 1973 vintage enables value-add through interiors and building systems
- 3-mile demographics point to renter pool expansion and occupancy stability
- Risk: affordability pressure and mixed safety trends require prudent pricing and operations
