Harbor Stone Advisors is pleased to present the Peabody Apartments, a well-maintained multifamily asset with value-add opportunity located in Charles Village. The property is located just blocks away from the John Hopkins University, one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Peabody Apartments is also a short walk away from multiple JHU shuttle stops. The JHU Shuttle not only makes stops at the main university campus, but also stops at Penn Station, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University.

 

The property features 22 spacious units, with a mix of (3) Studios and (19) 1 Br-1 Ba. Typical unit features include white appliances, wood cabinets, formica countertops, and vinyl/LVT flooring. Peabody Apartments also has a surface lot with 13 parking spaces and 2 garages. The property was previously gut renovated and has all new mechanical systems. All of the units at the Peabody Apartments are in-service under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program through January 1, 2033.

 

Current ownership renovated 9 units in 2024 with a scope of updated appliances, new cabinets, resurfaced countertops and LVT flooring. The opportunity exists for a new owner to continue that renovation on the remaining 13 units, as well as add in-unit washer/dryers to all units. A new owner can also lease more units to voucher tenants in order to achieve higher rent premiums. Currently, there are 3 units leased to voucher tenants at an average rent of $1,410. There is also an ability to develop an additional 38 units on site.
