Historical November–December 2019 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
In our last issue, we discussed a decline in the number of owneroccupied single family homes. Investors have acquired such homes to rent, often to students, and for Airbnb’s.
This phenomenon lessens civic involvement and block unit cohesion.
In this issue, we are able to show you where non-owner occupied homes are located.
These statistics do not include two families and multi families that are by nature often rental properties and are home to many students. Currently, single family homes in the 5900 block of Pershing are 37% non owner occupied, the 5800 block of Pershing is 34% non owner occupied, the 5900 block of Waterman has 10 non owner occupied single family homes, and the 6100 blocks of Wesminster and Washington have 10 non owner occupied homes, One investor alone has purchased six single family homes in our neighborhood to rent out, and 25 single family homes are owned by corporations or persons out of state. Smaller and less costly homes are most likely to attract investors.
A number of units were foreclosed in the Great Recession and the investors began to move in.
This is particularly true on 5800-5900 Pershing. One third of those houses have absentee landlords and student tenants. No neighborhood entity stepped in to try to preserve owner occupancy.
These are issues that will not go away.
The data speak for themselves.
