12440 Oak Knoll Rd Poway Multifamily Investment
This 29-unit property built in 2000 benefits from Poway's elevated home values that reinforce rental demand, with neighborhood-level occupancy at 97.9% according to WDSuite's CRE market data.
Poway's inner suburb positioning delivers strong fundamentals for multifamily investors. The neighborhood ranks above metro median among 621 San Diego metro neighborhoods, with an A- rating reflecting balanced livability metrics. Constructed in 2000, this property aligns with the area's average construction year of 1998, positioning it competitively within the local building stock without immediate capital expenditure pressures.
Demographics within a 3-mile radius show household income stability, with median household income at $142,600 and projected growth to $192,426 by 2028. The area maintains 34.1% renter-occupied housing units, supporting consistent rental demand. Elevated home values at $755,081 median reinforce rental demand by keeping households in the multifamily market, while rent-to-income ratios at 0.19 indicate manageable affordability for tenants.
Amenity access supports tenant retention, with the neighborhood ranking in the 70th percentile nationally for overall amenities. Restaurant density at 8.22 per square mile and grocery access at 2.74 stores per square mile provide convenience that appeals to renters. Schools average 3.0 out of 5, ranking competitively among metro neighborhoods and supporting family tenant appeal.
Occupancy trends favor stability, with neighborhood-level occupancy at 97.9% and positive five-year growth of 2.03%. Contract rents at $1,774 median have grown 38.8% over five years, though investors should monitor renewal rates given the strong rental market dynamics. The area's resilience during COVID-19 ranked moderately, suggesting steady but not exceptional economic adaptability.

Safety metrics present mixed signals that warrant investor attention. The neighborhood ranks 298th of 621 San Diego metro neighborhoods for overall crime, placing it in the lower half locally and in the 32nd percentile nationally. Property offense rates are elevated at 2,150 per 100,000 residents, ranking in the bottom 10th percentile nationwide, though these rates have declined 7.7% year-over-year.
Violent crime rates at 419 per 100,000 residents also rank in the lower 11th percentile nationally, but show improvement with an 8.4% decline over the past year. While these safety metrics lag regional and national averages, the improving trends suggest stabilization. Investors should factor security considerations into property management strategies and tenant screening processes.

This 29-unit Poway property offers stable cash flow potential in a market where elevated ownership costs sustain rental demand.
