VACANT - available for immediate occupancy. A former nursing home with 5 acres of land, 5,300 sq. ft. of space, 100 rooms, and a large dining area** presents a wealth of opportunities for various uses. Here are some prime possibilities: 1. Church & Community Center The existing layout could easily be transformed into a house of worship with offices, classrooms, and fellowship areas.

The 5 acres offer space for outdoor events, parking, or expansion for a worship hall. 2. Student Housing or Dormitory The property could be repurposed into an affordable student housing facility for nearby colleges or trade schools. The individual rooms provide private or semi-private student accommodations. The dining area could be used as a cafeteria or common area for students. The land allows for recreational spaces, study areas, or future development. 3. Office Spaces & Co-Working Hub The layout supports conversion into private offices, conference rooms, and coworking spaces. The large dining room could be repurposed into a conference center, event space, or shared lounge area. Ideal for startups, small businesses, or medical offices seeking an affordable headquarters. The expansive property offers ample parking and room for additional development. Would you like me to tailor these ideas based on local demand or zoning regulations?

Huntsville Multifamily for Sale - Downtown Huntsville

Bearkat Cottages is a 37-cottage, 152-bed, newly constructed (2021) student housing community located at 340 Bowers Blvd in Huntsville, Texas, a ~10-minute walk to the Sam Houston State University campus. The property comprises 64,203 rentable square feet across 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-bedroom cottage layouts (1,046 SF to 2,459 SF), each two stories with private bedrooms, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and modern finishes including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and full-size in-unit washers and dryers. As a purpose-built, by-the-bed student community walking distance to a flagship Conference USA university, the asset is positioned to benefit from one of the most stable demand backdrops in Texas student housing. SHSU enrolls ~21,000 students, with approximately 78% of its undergraduates living off-campus and only ~4,100 on-campus beds available - leaving a substantial majority of the student body dependent on the off-campus rental market. SHSU's recent move to Conference USA, continued investment in academic programs (including the College of Osteopathic Medicine), and high regional rankings in social mobility and value support sustained enrollment and a deepening rental demand pool. The opportunity is fundamentally a stabilized, cash-flowing student housing asset with embedded mark-to-market rent upside. The property is physically new, requires little to no near-term capital expenditure, and is operating on a by-the-bed lease structure with a meaningful spread between in-place rents and pre-lease rents underwritten in the pro forma. The cottage format - with no clubhouse, no pool, no shared amenity buildings, and tenant-paid electric and water - provides an efficient operating profile and below-market expense load relative to traditional garden-style student housing. With a true walk-to-campus location, premium 2021 construction, an efficient operating profile, and a deep and durable demand base from a ~21,000-student flagship university, Bearkat Cottages represents a compelling, stabilized student housing acquisition opportunity worthy of further diligence.

Student Housing Buildings For Sale

Student Housing Buildings

What is student housing?

Student housing is a formalized system of living in multi-occupancy student residences that include such features as shared kitchen and washroom facilities, main building entrances, and security systems. Student housing differs from traditional residence in that it provides for the needs of students by providing single or multiple occupancy rentable rooms without meals, programming, building maintenance or supervision.

A dorm is a student housing facility for a residential community. The student's common room, bedroom, or apartment is designed and furnished to fit their needs such as student privacy. Dormitories can range from regular student living needs (bedrooms with bathrooms) to more luxurious student residences that offer private rooms with its own bathroom inside of the room. A student residence hall is also referred to as a dormitory - both terms are used interchangeably, but usually refer to the same thing.

What should be considered when investing in student housing?

Amenities: student apartments need to have the right amenities for college students; these include things like recreation areas with pool tables / tv room / video game systems, study rooms, media rooms, mail centers with student mailboxes, fitness center & gym area (with equipment), clubhouse area or "party loft" with pool tables / basketball hoops / foosball table / video games consoles on flat screen tv's, student and staff lounge areas with kitchen / table space to play cards or board games, a computer center or computer lab with student computers for student use.

Being student-oriented, student housing should be designed with student needs in mind. Maximize student space & maximize student privacy by providing comfortable & trendy furniture. The type of student you are trying to attract will help dictate just how student oriented the furnishings should be.

How to decide on where to Purchase a student apartment to rent out?

There are factors that you should consider before purchasing an apartment building. The following will help guide you in how to decide on what type and location of property to buy as an investment:

Location is everything! Think about the location / neighborhood where you want to spend your hard earned money? If it's just a cash flow play then not really, but if it's also about having a good place for yourself or friends and family then location is important. Consider things like public transport links, shopping centers, places where students hang out (fast food joints etc.) schools & universities, sports clubs etc. Anything which will attract student population should be kept close by such as cinemas, pubs / bars / night-clubs / restaurants etc..

The following are major things you should consider when purchasing a dormitory.

You will be renting it out, so think about potential tenants and investing in a property with great amenities for the student community. Don't buy a property in an area where there is no demand and the majority of your rent will go to maintenance cost. Location is most important, next is size and condition of the building, followed by quality of finishes inside.

Do your research on the property market by doing things like reading property reports from agents, newspapers & magazines, online forums for property investors, etc. It's important that you do your research before purchasing real estate especially if it's for long-term hold strategy where holding periods of 5+ years is common.

Decide what type of property and/or type of student accommodation you want to invest in (ie; fully furnished apartments / studios / house shares / rooms). Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each student accommodation. For example; If you are purchasing a property with fully furnished apartments then the monthly rental income will be higher but there are more maintenance tasks to keep up with the furnishings.

Determine what price range you want to buy within. Some investors may be looking for good investment returns and leverage on demand / market conditions while others may simply be looking for consistent cash flow with a cash flow positive property.

While doing your research you may have identified an area or neighborhood which is in high demand with a lot of potential students, this will most likely be costly due to scarcity value. Look at areas where there are less expensive properties with affordable rent prices and still good growth potential & demand for student accommodation.

In summary, purchasing real estate as a student accommodation investment is popular. Students have less money to spend on renting an apartment / house but more time on their hand, so investing in a property that will meet their demands and quality of life requirements can prove to be profitable.

When deciding on purchasing a property always check the local market in the area you want to invest in for demand, growth potentials and vacancy rates.

Speak to a local broker to ensure any kind of zoning requirements are in place and there is enough demand by local schools.
