1680 W Rialto Ave Fontana Multifamily Investment
Stabilized renter demand and above-average neighborhood occupancy point to durable cash flow potential, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. The asset’s location supports working households, offering relative leasing resilience in San Bernardino County.
The property sits in Fontana’s Urban Core within the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro, where neighborhood occupancy is approximately 95% and sits in the 73rd percentile nationally. Renter-occupied share is high for the neighborhood (ranked near the top of 997 metro neighborhoods), indicating a deep tenant base that can support leasing stability for a 44‑unit asset.
Local daily needs are well served: grocery access ranks 40th of 997 metro neighborhoods (96th percentile nationally), and childcare density is similarly strong (24th of 997; 95th percentile). Restaurant availability is competitive (71st percentile nationally), though cafes, parks, and pharmacies are limited in the immediate area, which modestly reduces lifestyle appeal versus amenity-rich submarkets.
With a neighborhood median construction year of 1978, this 1990 vintage is newer than the area’s typical stock. For investors, that positioning helps competitive standing versus older assets, while still leaving room for targeted modernization or systems upgrades to support rent trade‑outs and retention.
Housing metrics are solid (top quartile nationally), and elevated ownership costs (value‑to‑income in the upper national percentiles) tend to sustain reliance on multifamily rentals. Within a 3‑mile radius, households and families have grown over the past five years and are projected to expand further, pointing to a larger tenant base and supporting occupancy. Median rents and incomes have risen, and a slight reduction in average household size suggests ongoing demand for rental units and unit-mix flexibility.
Safety indicators compare favorably at the national level, with both violent and property offense rates positioned in higher national percentiles (safer relative to many U.S. neighborhoods). Within the metro context, conditions are competitive among peer neighborhoods rather than top-tier, which aligns with the Urban Core profile.
One-year trends show a recent uptick in property offenses, so ongoing monitoring and standard asset-level measures (lighting, access control, resident engagement) remain prudent. Investors should underwrite to neighborhood-level patterns rather than block-specific assumptions and track changes over time.
Nearby employment is anchored by energy infrastructure, food manufacturing, environmental services, healthcare distribution, and logistics—sectors that support a broad renter base and commute convenience for workforce housing.
- Kinder Morgan — energy infrastructure (3.5 miles)
- General Mills — food manufacturing (9.1 miles)
- Waste Management — environmental services (17.5 miles)
- Mckesson Medical Surgical — healthcare distribution (18.1 miles)
- Ryder Vehicle Sales — logistics & transportation (19.7 miles)
This 44‑unit, 1990‑built asset benefits from a renter‑oriented neighborhood with occupancy in the 73rd percentile nationally and a high share of renter‑occupied units—key signals for demand depth and lease stability. Elevated ownership costs in the area continue to reinforce multifamily demand, while household and family growth within a 3‑mile radius points to gradual renter pool expansion and support for steady absorption. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, the submarket’s housing fundamentals are competitive nationally, with strong access to daily‑needs amenities like grocery and childcare that aid resident retention.
Vintage positioning—newer than the neighborhood median year—offers a relative competitive edge versus older stock, while leaving room for value‑add through interior refreshes and modernization of aging systems. Underwriting should account for modest amenity gaps (parks, cafes, pharmacies nearby) and recent property‑offense trend noise, balanced by diverse nearby employment nodes and commuting convenience.
- Occupancy strength and high renter concentration support durable leasing
- 1990 vintage is newer than area norm, with targeted value‑add potential
- Elevated ownership costs sustain multifamily demand and pricing power
- 3‑mile household and family growth expands the tenant base over time
- Risks: limited nearby parks/cafes/pharmacies and recent uptick in property offenses warrant monitoring
