6971 Mohawk Trl, Yucca Valley Multifamily Investment Opportunity
High neighborhood occupancy and a solid renter base suggest durable demand in Yucca Valley, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data, with stability driven by local amenities and regional commuting patterns.
Located in Yucca Valley within the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro, the property benefits from a neighborhood environment that has shown strong renter demand. Neighborhood occupancy is high (top quartile nationally), and the share of housing units that are renter-occupied is substantial, supporting a deeper tenant base and helping maintain leasing stability, based on CRE market data from WDSuite. Note that these occupancy and tenure metrics reflect the neighborhood, not the property.
Everyday amenities are reasonably accessible. Restaurant and grocery density rank competitive among the 997 metro neighborhoods (ranks near the 256–266 range), with national percentiles around the high 70s to 80th percentile. Cafes are also relatively accessible (top quartile among metro peers). Childcare and pharmacy options are thinner locally, which can affect some resident preferences.
Schools in the area rate below national norms (around the lower national percentiles), which investors may consider in positioning and tenant mix. Median home values are elevated relative to local incomes (value-to-income ratio near the top end nationally), which tends to sustain reliance on rental housing and can support retention and pricing power for well-managed units.
For 3-mile demographics, the current population is roughly flat while household counts have been modestly soft in recent years; projections point to more households by 2028 alongside smaller average household sizes. This shift, combined with forecasts indicating a higher share of renter-occupied housing and higher median contract rents, suggests a potential expansion of the renter pool and supports occupancy stability for multifamily owners.
Vintage and competitive position: Built in 1984, the asset is newer than the neighborhood’s average vintage (1970). This generally enhances competitiveness versus older stock, while still leaving room for targeted renovations or systems updates to capture value-add upside and improve rent positioning.
Safety trends should be evaluated with a metro and national lens. The neighborhood’s safety profile sits below national averages (national percentiles in the 30s), and within the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro it ranks in the lower half among 997 neighborhoods. Recent data show a slight year-over-year decline in property offenses but an uptick in violent offenses, indicating mixed short-term signals. Investors should incorporate these factors into underwriting, security planning, and tenant retention strategies.
Regional employers within commuting range help underpin workforce housing demand and support leasing durability. Nearby corporate presence includes Waste Management.

This 50-unit, 1984-vintage asset offers exposure to a Yucca Valley neighborhood with strong renter demand and high occupancy at the neighborhood level, aiding income stability. Elevated ownership costs relative to incomes reinforce renter reliance on multifamily housing, while proximity to daily amenities supports leasing fundamentals. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, the area’s restaurant, grocery, and cafe access is competitive within the metro, while childcare and pharmacy access are thinner and should be considered in marketing and resident services.
Forward-looking 3-mile demographics indicate more households by 2028 alongside smaller household sizes and a rising share of renter-occupied housing, which can expand the tenant base even as population trends remain flat to slightly down. The 1984 vintage, newer than the neighborhood average, presents a manageable path for targeted renovations and operational improvements to strengthen rent positioning, with prudent attention to affordability pressures, school quality, and safety metrics in lease management and underwriting.
- High neighborhood occupancy and sizable renter-occupied share support stable leasing
- 1984 vintage is newer than local average, enabling value-add renovations to enhance competitiveness
- Competitive access to restaurants and groceries aids resident convenience and retention
- 3-mile outlook shows more households and higher renter share, pointing to deeper tenant demand
- Risks: affordability pressure, below-average school ratings, and safety metrics warrant careful lease and CapEx planning
