Property Description
Property Highlights
Size & Layout: 858 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath (per tax records), built in 1895 with a full basement, hot air/natural gas heat, central air, and vinyl/aluminum exterior. Includes a covered porch and private driveway.
Zoning: R3-B Multi-Unit Urban — favorable for potential conversion to multi-family or mixed-use, subject to approvals.
Investment ThesisThis is a low-entry-cost fixer-upper or rental play in Niagara Falls, NY, where the broader housing market shows median sale prices around $145k–$170k with homes selling in ~30–35 days.
The property sits on a main corridor (Niagara Street) in an area with ongoing revitalization interest, proximity to the Falls tourism economy, medical facilities (e.g., Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center), and schools.
Potential Strategies:Rental Income — Stabilize and rent as a single-family home or explore multi-unit conversion given zoning. Local rental demand supports steady cash flow in a market with positive year-over-year rent growth.
Value-Add — Renovate for higher rents or resale; the low basis and assessed value leave room for forced appreciation.
Hold/Long-Term — Benefit from regional tourism spillover, infrastructure improvements, and broader Upstate NY market momentum.
Risks/Considerations: Older construction (1895) may require updates for code compliance, systems, or lead paint/asbestos. South End is a working-class neighborhood — investor-friendly but check local comps and tenant screening. Taxes and holding costs are modest given the low assessment.Overall: Ideal for cash investors or rehab specialists seeking sub-$100k entry in a market with tourism tailwinds and redevelopment upside. Verify condition via inspection and confirm zoning/multi-unit feasibility with the City of Niagara Falls. Comparable small homes on/near Niagara St trade in the low-to-mid $ range, making this a potential bargain with execution.
