100 Aberdeen Dr Chapel Hill Multifamily Investment
Top-quartile neighborhood positioning supports steady renter demand and occupancy, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data, with pricing power reinforced by elevated ownership costs in Chapel Hill.
This suburban Chapel Hill location ranks in the top quartile among 211 Durham-Chapel Hill neighborhoods, pairing strong livability with investor-friendly fundamentals. Neighborhood schools average 4.0 out of 5 (top quartile locally and strong versus national peers), parks access is competitive among Durham-Chapel Hill neighborhoods, and pharmacies and childcare are readily available. Immediate walkable retail is thinner (few cafes and groceries within the neighborhood), but broader regional amenities are accessible by short drive, which is typical for suburban nodes.
For investors, the ownership landscape features elevated home values relative to incomes, which tends to sustain renter reliance on multifamily housing and can support lease retention. Neighborhood rents sit above many U.S. areas, while the rent-to-income profile indicates manageable affordability pressure—helpful for balancing pricing power with renewal risk. Neighborhood occupancy is above national averages and has been relatively stable, based on CRE market data from WDSuite.
Tenure patterns point to multifamily demand depth: the renter-occupied share of housing units in this neighborhood is above many U.S. neighborhoods, reinforcing a sizable tenant base. Within a 3-mile radius, households are projected to expand meaningfully by 2028 alongside higher median incomes, supporting a larger tenant pool and potential for occupancy stability.
The property’s 1995 vintage is slightly older than the area’s late-1990s average. That positioning often supports a value-add program focused on interior updates and selective system upgrades to enhance competitive standing against newer stock while managing capital planning.
Safety indicators are competitive among Durham-Chapel Hill neighborhoods (ranked 36 out of 211), and national comparisons sit around the middle of the pack, suggesting conditions that are broadly consistent with many U.S. neighborhoods. Recent trends indicate a notable year-over-year decline in violent incidents, while property offenses have been comparatively steady, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data.
For investors, the takeaway is measured: local safety performance is favorable within the metro context and aligns near national mid-range benchmarks, which can support leasing velocity and resident retention without relying on a “prime-safety” thesis at the block level.
Proximity to major life sciences and corporate offices underpins a diverse employment base and supports renter demand through commute convenience. Key nearby employers include Cisco Systems, Biogen Idec, Quintiles Transnational Holdings, Amerisource Bergen, and MetLife.

The neighborhood ranks in the top quartile among 211 Durham-Chapel Hill neighborhoods and shows steady occupancy with rents supported by strong incomes and an above-average renter concentration.

Built in 1995, the asset is slightly older than the local late-1990s average—positioning it for targeted value-add through interior modernization and selective mechanical upgrades to sharpen competitiveness against newer product. Within a 3-mile radius, households are expected to expand materially by 2028 alongside rising incomes, which can support occupancy stability and renewal capture while managing affordability pressure prudently.
