Situated in the heart of Elkhart County within the Elkhart MSA — a market serving a population of over 250,000 — this 420-unit apartment community offers a compelling blend of 160 affordable units and market-rate apartments, strategically positioned for strong and durable performance. Originally developed by Gene B Glick and Company, the property consists of 22 buildings including the clubhouse and maintenance shop and is situated on 19.65 acres. The property's central location provides excellent connectivity via US 20 and US 33, offering residents convenient access to Elkhart and Goshen, the county's two largest cities, as well as the region's diverse employer base. This balanced unit mix has proven highly effective, supporting consistent occupancy above 90% over time. The investment profile is further strengthened by a recently awarded HUD rent increase accompanied by a 20-year HAP contract providing for annual rent escalations of 5%, offering a reliable and growing income stream on the affordable component. Meanwhile, competitive market-rate rents position the property well against peer properties in the submarket, supporting continued high occupancy across the broader portfolio.
