30 Escuela Dr, Daly City Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood fundamentals point to durable renter demand supported by high ownership costs and a sizable renter-occupied housing base, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. While these metrics reflect the surrounding neighborhood rather than this property, they indicate pricing power potential when paired with solid incomes.
The property sits within an Urban Core neighborhood in the San Francisco–San Mateo–Redwood City metro that rates A- overall and ranks 37 out of 193 neighborhoods — competitive among San Francisco–San Mateo–Redwood City neighborhoods. Amenity access is a clear strength: the area’s amenity rank is 33 of 193 (top quartile) with nationally strong density of restaurants, cafes, groceries, parks, and pharmacies, helping sustain day-to-day convenience that supports tenant retention.
Renter demand is underpinned by a higher-cost ownership landscape. Neighborhood home values sit in a high national percentile, and the value-to-income ratio is also elevated compared with most U.S. neighborhoods — conditions that typically reinforce reliance on multifamily housing and can help stabilize occupancy and renewals. At the same time, rent-to-income levels trend relatively manageable versus national benchmarks, a setup that can reduce affordability pressure and support lease management.
Tenure data indicates a majority of housing units are renter-occupied in the neighborhood, pointing to a deep tenant base for mid-scale multifamily assets. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood NOI per unit trends in the top national percentiles, signaling revenue potential when units are leased. However, neighborhood occupancy currently trails national norms, so underwriting should reflect lease-up and renewal execution as key value drivers rather than assuming full stabilization.
Demographics aggregated within a 3-mile radius show stable to improving fundamentals for the renter pool. Over the past five years, total population edged down while household counts ticked up, implying smaller average household sizes; forward-looking estimates point to a continued increase in households and incomes through 2028, which expands the local renter base and supports absorption. These dynamics — combined with strong amenity access — align with needs-based demand rather than purely discretionary leasing.
Public safety trends are mixed and should be considered in operations planning. Within the metro, the neighborhood’s crime rank is in the lower half (rank 116 of 193), indicating higher incident levels than many peer neighborhoods. Nationally, the area sits below the midrange for both violent and property offense measures; however, violent incidents have been trending lower year over year, placing improvement in a stronger national percentile. Investors should focus on standard safety measures and community engagement to support retention and reputation.
Proximity to major corporate employers supports commuter convenience and broad-based renter demand, including e-commerce, corporate headquarters, hospitality services, biotech, and healthcare distribution that align with stable, needs-driven employment.

30 Escuela Dr offers scale at 69 units in a neighborhood with top-quartile amenities and a renter-leaning housing base. High ownership costs relative to incomes tend to reinforce reliance on rental housing, while rent-to-income levels suggest capacity for renewals without outsized affordability pressure. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood NOI per unit ranks among the strongest nationally, indicating revenue potential when occupancy is maintained.
Key considerations include neighborhood occupancy that trails national norms and safety metrics that are weaker than many metro peers. Still, 3-mile demographics point to rising household counts and income growth through 2028, expanding the renter pool and supporting leasing velocity for well-managed assets.
- Amenity-rich Urban Core location supporting daily convenience and retention.
- Elevated ownership costs bolster multifamily demand and renewal prospects.
- Strong neighborhood NOI per unit potential, per WDSuite’s CRE market data.
- Expanding 3-mile household base and income growth support absorption.
- Risks: below-average neighborhood occupancy and comparatively weaker safety requiring active management.
