4812 W Douglas Ave, Visalia CA Multifamily Investment
Stabilized renter demand in an inner-suburb setting, supported by a growing 3-mile household base and a renter-occupied share near two-fifths, according to WDSuite s CRE market data.
Located in Visalia s inner suburbs, the neighborhood posts an A+ rating and ranks 1st among 142 metro neighborhoods, signaling strong local fundamentals relative to the broader market. Neighborhood occupancy trends hover around national medians, suggesting steady leasing conditions without outsized volatility.
Amenities are a differentiator: restaurant density ranks among the top tier (6th of 142), with groceries (26th of 142) and pharmacies (26th of 142) supporting daily needs. Parks access is also strong (6th of 142). Caf E9 density is thinner, but the area s childcare access ranks competitively (7th of 142), which can support retention for family renters.
Median home values sit on the higher side for the area and the value-to-income ratio places the neighborhood in a high national percentile, a profile that typically reinforces reliance on multifamily rentals and can support pricing power and lease retention. Neighborhood median contract rents trend near the middle of national distributions, helping balance demand depth with manageable affordability pressure for working households.
Schools average above mid-tier nationally (top 30% by national percentile), a positive signal for family-oriented demand. Construction vintage in the neighborhood skews older (average year 1966); by comparison, 4812 W Douglas Ave (built 1987) is newer than much of the local stock, which can enhance competitive positioning while still warranting selective modernization over time.
Within a 3-mile radius, population and household counts have expanded in recent years, with additional growth projected over the next five years. This trajectory implies a larger tenant base and supports occupancy stability going forward, based on CRE market data from WDSuite.
Safety indicators are competitive among Visalia neighborhoods, with the area comparing near the middle of national benchmarks. Recent data shows year-over-year improvement in violent offense estimates, while property offense estimates have risen over the same period. Investors should underwrite to current patterns and monitor trend direction rather than isolated annual moves.
At the metro level, the neighborhood s standing places it in a solid comparative position among 142 tracked neighborhoods. As always, block-level conditions can vary within any submarket; prudent assumptions and ongoing monitoring are advisable for leasing and operating strategies.
Nearby employment anchors provide diverse blue-collar and logistics-oriented demand drivers that can support renter retention and leasing velocity, including International Paper and Con Agra Foods.
- International Paper paper & packaging operations (9.9 miles)
- Con Agra Foods food processing & distribution (43.2 miles)
This 92-unit asset, built in 1987, is newer than much of the surrounding housing stock, offering relative competitiveness versus older properties while still warranting targeted capital planning for aging systems and light renovations. The neighborhood ranks 1st of 142 in Visalia with an A+ profile, strong amenity access, and school quality above national midpoints. Elevated ownership costs locally tend to reinforce sustained renter reliance on multifamily housing, while neighborhood rents remain near national midpoints a mix that supports leasing stability and measured pricing power. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy tracks around national medians and the renter-occupied share near two-fifths suggests a meaningful tenant base for multifamily operators.
Within a 3-mile radius, recent growth in population and households with further expansion projected points to an expanding renter pool that can support occupancy and absorption. Investors should note that recent safety metrics show improvement in violent offense estimates alongside an uptick in property offenses; underwriting should reflect current operating realities and routine monitoring. Overall, demand drivers, relative vintage, and amenity depth combine to position the asset for durable performance with prudent asset management.
