Introducing a prime multifamily investment opportunity in Decatur, Illinois. The property consists of 35 units across four parcels, featuring four freestanding buildings, including a duplex that contains the superintendent unit. Constructed between 1964 and 1967, the buildings are a combination of brick, mortar, and frame construction and are zoned B-2 with multifamily permitted use. The property is located on the far west side of Decatur, near lifestyle amenities including the 180+ acre Fairview Park, nearby bicycle and walking trails, and the campus-town shops and restaurants surrounding Millikin University. Current ownership has completed select capital improvements, with approximately 25 of the 35 units cosmetically updated, demonstrating measurable rental increases and improved operating performance. Majority of units are two bedrooms. With additional units remaining to be renovated, the property offers continued value-add potential for investors seeking stable income.
West End, located between downtown Decatur and Fairview Park, is a residential and historic Decatur neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Merchant Street corridor near Millikin University, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus foot traffic set a steady daytime rhythm. Staley Field and the Kirkland Fine Arts Center act as cultural anchors, pairing collegiate sports with performing-arts nights. Housing leans toward classic Midwestern forms—bungalows, brick two-stories, and porch-front homes—set on walkable streets. Green space and ballfields shape the edges, while the university adds a bookish, arts-forward undertone.
