Michel Commercial is pleased to present Parkway Gardens Senior Apartments, a 160-home affordable active-adult (55+) community in St. Paul, Minnesota. Built in 2005, this well-maintained property is not subject to rent control and has recently benefited from the change to the Low Income Rental Classification (LIRC) tax rate, resulting in a significant reduction in real estate taxes effective January 1, 2025. Parkway Gardens provides stable in-place income, long-term retention, and a highly accessible location, making it a strong investment opportunity.
Property Overview
Parkway Gardens features homes tailored for active seniors, each with full kitchens, generous storage, walk-in showers, and underground parking. Community amenities include a resident lounge, fitness area, game room, on-site laundry, and outdoor recreation space.
Affordability Structure
The property operates under a Section 42 LURA contract with income and rent restrictions in place until December 29, 2036. Unit allocation includes 10% at 30% Area Median Income (AMI), 10% at 50% AMI, and 80% at 60% AMI.
Location & Connectivity
Conveniently located just off I-94 near Sun Ray Shopping Center, Parkway Gardens provides residents with easy access to retail, groceries, and healthcare. Public transit stops directly outside the property, ensuring mobility and accessibility for non-driving seniors.
Investment Upside
Parkway Gardens offers investors a well-built asset with strong upside potential through improved operations and emerging rent growth. With limited senior housing supply and rising demand for affordable, age-restricted homes, the property is well positioned for durable long-term performance. Additionally, the Low-Income Rental Classification (LIRC) tax rate reduction enhances long-term value, making Parkway Gardens a compelling addition to any portfolio.
