3771 Robb Ave Cincinnati Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood renter-occupied share points to a stable tenant base, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data, supporting steady leasing fundamentals for a 1970s garden asset.
Located in Cincinnati’s inner-suburban fabric, the property sits in a neighborhood with balanced livability drivers for workforce renters. Restaurant density ranks in the top decile nationally while everyday services such as pharmacies and childcare also score strong, but cafes, parks, and full-service groceries are limited nearby — signaling convenience for daily needs with fewer lifestyle amenities.
The average housing vintage in the neighborhood skews older (mid‑20th century), while this asset’s 1974 construction is newer than the area norm. Investors should expect competitive positioning versus legacy stock, with potential value‑add from system upgrades and interior refreshes to meet contemporary renter expectations.
Renter-occupied housing represents roughly one‑third of the neighborhood’s units, indicating a defined multifamily renter pool and depth for leasing. Neighborhood occupancy trends sit below the national median with modest softening over the past five years; hands‑on leasing and amenity activation may be needed to sustain occupancy and limit concessions.
Within a 3‑mile radius, WDSuite’s demographic roll‑ups show a stable population base today and projections for population growth and more households over the next five years, expanding the local tenant base. Median contract rents in the 3‑mile area have risen over the last cycle and are projected to continue increasing, while rent-to-income levels remain moderate — a combination that can support pricing power without overextending affordability.
For schools, average ratings trail national norms, which may temper family‑driven demand but aligns with workforce housing positioning. Home values are lower versus national benchmarks; in practice, this can introduce some competition from entry‑level ownership, so asset strategy should emphasize convenience, professional management, and move‑in readiness to retain renters.
Safety indicators for the neighborhood track below the national median, with property crime elevated relative to nationwide benchmarks. However, WDSuite’s recent readings show a meaningful year‑over‑year improvement in violent offense rates, suggesting some directional easing from prior levels.
Investors should underwrite prudent security measures (lighting, access controls, resident communications) and consider how proximity to services and employment supports natural surveillance and retention, while monitoring trend lines against the broader Cincinnati metro.
Proximity to downtown Cincinnati anchors supports leasing from a diverse white‑collar workforce. The nearest cluster includes grocery, retail, banking, and consumer products headquarters alongside technology and healthcare offices.

- Fifth Third Bancorp — banking (6.9 miles) — HQ

- Procter & Gamble — consumer products (7.2 miles) — HQ
This 78‑unit, 1974 vintage asset provides durable workforce housing exposure in an inner‑suburban Cincinnati neighborhood with strong restaurant and daily‑needs access. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy sits below the national median with recent softening, suggesting value can be realized through targeted renovations, leasing execution, and amenity programming that differentiate against older area stock.
Within a 3‑mile radius, forward curves point to population growth and an increase in households, expanding the renter pool. Rent levels have trended upward and are projected to continue rising alongside income gains, while rent‑to‑income remains moderate — a constructive setup for maintaining occupancy and measured rent growth. Lower local home values versus national norms may create some competition from ownership, but also reinforce the appeal of professionally managed rentals offering convenience and move‑in readiness.
