A strong opportunity for both seasoned and first-time investors! This well-maintained three-family in Worcester’s desirable Mt. Vernon neighborhood offers immediate income with clear upside potential. The property has performed reliably for the current owner with long-term tenants and rents currently below market—presenting an excellent value-add opportunity. Each spacious unit features 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath, with two separate entrances, in-unit laundry, and tenants responsible for their own utilities, helping keep operating costs low. Ample off-street parking adds everyday convenience and rental appeal. A solid asset in a high-demand rental location with room for future growth—don’t miss this one.
Vernon Hill, located between Kelley Square and Clark University, is a historic and residential Worcester neighborhood with brick triple-deckers and hilltop views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kelley Square rotary and Green Street, where corner markets, longtime eateries, and auto shops set a working-city rhythm. Architectural texture runs from late-19th-century multifamilies to sturdy industrial-era blocks edging the Canal District. Crompton Park adds a green pause above the street grid, while nearby arts and campus energy spill in from Clark. New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill sits just beyond the neighborhood’s orbit for a weekend reset.
