About this home
Located in the heart of Chico, this well-positioned four-unit multifamily property presents an attractive investment opportunity with strong rental demand and a highly desirable unit mix. The property consists of four spacious two-bedroom, one-bathroom units, each approximately 765 square feet, offering residents comfortable living accommodations while providing investors with stable income potential. The property's prime location is a significant advantage, situated just 0.2 miles from California State University, Chico and approximately 0.8 miles from Chico High School. This strategic positioning supports consistent tenant demand from both the student population and the broader Chico rental market. This desirable location, versatile unit mix, and strong occupancy fundamentals, this property offers investors the opportunity to acquire a well-located multifamily asset in one of Northern California's most established university communities.
Rancheria-North Campus, located between Bidwell Park and California State University, Chico, is a residential and academic Chico neighborhood with leafy streets and bike-first routines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Esplanade and W. Sacramento Avenue, where coffee counters, taquerias, and campus-serving storefronts keep sidewalks active. Housing leans to mid-century ranch homes, small apartment courts, and student-era rentals tucked behind mature trees. Bidwell Park’s Upper Park trailheads and creek corridors shape daily routes for walkers and cyclists. The university’s performance halls and galleries add a steady cultural calendar. Evening energy shifts toward downtown’s independent stages and taprooms without leaving the north side.
