It is a nice, quiet neighborhood with good schools right across the bridge (about a mile away) from downtown New Brunswick which is a city home to Rutgers, RWJ Hospital, Johnson & Johnson, NJ Transit train to NYC and a lot of development going on including a brand new theater and a huge development project at the train station which will include shopping, food and apartments.

From the lush green landscaped courtyards with water features, to the ample open-air dining spots and the intimate outdoor fire pit, Plant 51 is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Silicon Valley and downtown San Jose.Plant 51 is a secured building with secured parking.

Especially in the areas close to downtown with all the new development.

@Bruce HansenMost of the neighborhoods around downtown are seeing a tremendous level of this, some more than others.

In fact, 6 years ago I was in your shoes and bought a side by side pair of 1905 built duplexes for $323k in downtown Everett.

This location is PRIME & safe, it's a 10min walk to downtown Durham, a 1min walk to their Physician's Assistant School, across from a beautiful park, on the same street as a bus stop which helps students/guests without cars, has a HUGE backyard, it's the most expensive zipcode in Durham, the surrounding homes are all well maintained, it's a historic neighborhood, there are townhomes being built a block down starting at $650k and more being built two blocks away starting at $800k.

All while taking my family downtown for ice cream at Galveston's ArtWalk!!

I currently work in NYC (Downtown Manhattan) and need to be in a reasonable commuting distance.  

Both buildings are in downtown and bring in around 250k a year in rent; so they are not small.

@Kory Knapp I have been having luck with value add small multifamily in Downtown Phoenix.
