Highland's Inner Suburb classification reflects an established residential community with stable rental dynamics. The neighborhood demonstrates strong occupancy fundamentals with 95.4% neighborhood-level occupancy rates, ranking in the 73rd percentile nationally. Renter-occupied units comprise 66.5% of housing stock, placing the area in the top quartile nationally for rental concentration and supporting consistent tenant demand.
The property's 1988 construction year aligns with neighborhood averages, suggesting potential value-add opportunities through strategic renovations and unit upgrades. Within a 3-mile radius, demographic data shows a population of approximately 80,700 residents with median household income of $77,705.

School ratings average 0.5 out of 5, which may influence family tenant retention and should be considered in leasing strategies.
Current median contract rents of $1,398 maintain affordability relative to area incomes, though rent-to-income ratios suggest monitoring for potential affordability pressures as projected rent increases materialize. The combination of strong occupancy rates, rental concentration, and projected household growth supports the neighborhood's rental housing demand fundamentals.
