200 Demarest Dr, Vacaville CA Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood occupancy is strong and ownership costs are elevated, supporting sustained renter demand according to WDSuite’s CRE market data.
Located in Vacaville’s inner-suburban fabric of the Vallejo, CA metro, the area posts a B neighborhood rating and competitive fundamentals for workforce-oriented rentals. Neighborhood occupancy stands at 96.7% (above the metro median among 98 neighborhoods), indicating stable leasing conditions relative to broader CRE trends.
Daily-needs access is a relative strength: grocery availability scores in a high national percentile, while park density ranks in the top quartile among 98 metro neighborhoods and is top decile nationally. Dining and cafe densities rank near the bottom locally, so residents may rely more on nearby corridors rather than immediate blocks for restaurants and coffee.
Homes in the neighborhood carry elevated values compared with national norms, and the value-to-income ratio sits in a high national percentile. For multifamily investors, this high-cost ownership market tends to sustain renter reliance on apartments, supporting pricing power and retention, while the neighborhood’s rent-to-income ratio remains manageable, reducing near-term affordability pressure risks.
Tenure dynamics point to an owner-leaning neighborhood locally, yet the broader 3-mile radius shows a material renter-occupied share, providing depth to the tenant base. Within that same 3-mile radius, WDSuite data indicates recent population growth with further gains projected, alongside an increase in households—factors that expand the renter pool and support occupancy stability over the medium term.
Asset vintage also matters: the property’s 2000 construction is newer than the neighborhood’s average 1986 vintage. That positioning can be competitively favorable versus older stock, though investors should still plan for modernization of systems and common areas as part of long-term capital strategy.
Safety indicators compare favorably at the national level, with WDSuite placing the neighborhood above the national average overall. Within the Vallejo, CA metro, the neighborhood’s crime rank indicates it is more challenged than some peers (ranked 9th among 98 metro neighborhoods, where a lower rank indicates higher crime), but recent trends are improving.
According to WDSuite, both violent and property offense rates saw meaningful one-year declines, signaling improving conditions relative to the prior year. Investors should interpret this as directional relief in risk, while continuing to underwrite with standard precautions and property-level measures to support resident safety and retention.
Regional employment access draws from a diverse corporate base within commuting distance, supporting renter demand through steady white- and blue-collar job pools. Notable employers include International Paper, Xerox State Healthcare, Cardinal Health, DISH Network Distribution Center, and Chevron.
- International Paper — paper & packaging (27.4 miles)
- Xerox State Healthcare — healthcare technology services (27.5 miles)
- Cardinal Health — healthcare distribution (32.0 miles)
- DISH Network Distribution Center — distribution & logistics (33.5 miles)
- Chevron — energy & corporate offices (39.9 miles) — HQ
This 80-unit, 2000-vintage property benefits from a renter base supported by a high-cost ownership landscape and above-median neighborhood occupancy. The asset’s newer construction relative to the area’s 1980s stock offers competitive positioning versus older properties, while still allowing for targeted renovations to drive rent premiums and retention. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy is strong and grocery/park access compares well nationally, bolstering day-to-day livability for residents.
Within a 3-mile radius, WDSuite data shows recent population growth with additional gains projected, alongside a rising household count—signals that expand the local renter pool and support leasing stability. Rents benchmark high nationally for the neighborhood, yet rent-to-income levels remain manageable, suggesting room for disciplined rent management without outsized retention risk. Key underwriting considerations include owner-leaning tenure locally and improving—but mixed—safety signals within the metro context.
- Newer 2000 vintage versus local 1980s stock supports competitive positioning with targeted value-add potential
- Strong neighborhood occupancy and high-cost ownership market reinforce rental demand and pricing power
- 3-mile radius shows population and household growth, expanding the tenant base and supporting stability
- Daily-needs strengths (grocery, parks) enhance livability and retention potential
- Risks: owner-leaning tenure locally and metro-relative safety ranking warrant conservative underwriting and property-level mitigation
