525 Clinton Ave, Brooklyn Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood renter-occupied concentration and strong incomes point to durable demand, based on CRE market data from WDSuite. The property’s 2006 vintage positions it competitively versus older local inventory.
Positioned in Brooklyn’s Urban Core, the neighborhood ranks 20 out of 889 metro neighborhoods—competitive among New York-Jersey City-White Plains submarkets. Amenity density sits in the top national percentiles for restaurants, parks, groceries, pharmacies, and cafes, supporting day-to-day livability and helping with leasing velocity and renewal retention.
Renter-occupied units account for 61.6% of neighborhood housing, signaling a deep tenant base for multifamily. Elevated neighborhood home values relative to national norms tend to sustain reliance on rental housing, which can support pricing power and lengthen tenancy for well-managed assets. School ratings are around the 70th percentile nationally—sufficient for a wide renter audience, though not a distinct differentiator.
According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy is around 90%, with slight softening over the past five years—characteristic of dense urban submarkets and not necessarily indicative of structural demand risk. Rents benchmark on the higher end for the metro, while rent-to-income levels suggest manageable affordability pressure with thoughtful lease management.
Demographic statistics aggregated within a 3-mile radius indicate recent population and household growth, rising incomes, and a sizable professional cohort—factors that expand the renter pool and support occupancy stability. The property’s 2006 construction year is newer than the neighborhood’s average vintage from the 1950s, implying relative competitiveness versus older stock and the potential to focus capital on selective upgrades and repositioning rather than full-system replacements.
Safety should be evaluated in context. The neighborhood ranks 462 out of 889 metro neighborhoods for crime, which trails the metro median. Compared with neighborhoods nationwide, safety metrics are below average; however, recent estimates show modest year-over-year declines in both violent and property offenses, indicating incremental improvement rather than deterioration.
For investors, this reflects a typical urban risk profile where operational measures—lighting, access controls, and community standards—can support resident experience and retention while the broader amenity base and employment access continue to underpin demand.

This 33-unit asset benefits from a renter-heavy neighborhood, high amenity density, and proximity to major employment nodes. The 2006 vintage is newer than the local average (1950s), offering competitive positioning versus older stock and the potential to prioritize targeted renovations and common-area enhancements over near-term system overhauls.
Neighborhood occupancy near 90% and a growing 3-mile renter pool point to demand depth, while elevated neighborhood home values support continued reliance on rentals and pricing power. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, income levels and rent-to-income metrics indicate manageable affordability pressure for disciplined lease management; main watch items include urban safety trends and typical turnover associated with dense, transit-served locations.
- Renter-heavy neighborhood and expanding 3-mile renter pool support occupancy stability
- 2006 vintage is competitive versus older local stock, enabling targeted value-add
