We are pleased to present the Glen Ellyn Apartments, an 11-unit multifamily property located in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Built in 1959, the property consists of eight one-bedroom and three two-bedroom units featuring functional layouts, natural light, and natural hardwood flooring. The units remain in classic but well-maintained condition, providing a strong foundation for future renovation and modernization. The asset has also benefited from several capital improvements, including a roof replacement in 2017, replacement of the individual electrical panels in all units in 2025, and a new rear fence installed in August 2025. Property amenities include covered and off-street parking, storage units, and on-site laundry. The location provides convenient access to Ballard Community Center, QFC, National Nordic Museum, Ballard Avenue & Farmers Market, the Ballard Locks, and the Ballard Public Library, along with the neighborhood’s broader retail, dining, and recreational amenities. Current rents are approximately 13% below market, providing near-term income growth potential through future turnover and rent adjustments. Additional upside may be realized through targeted unit renovations and modernization, with renovated rents estimated at approximately 29% above current levels. Further operational upside exists through implementation of utility bill-backs, which are not currently charged, as well as the opportunity to maximize parking income.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1959, the property features well-maintained but dated 'classic' interiors and bathrooms that require modernization. However, major structural and system components are in better shape due to recent capital improvements, including a roof replacement in 2017 and new individual electrical panels installed in 2025.
With current rents 13% below market and a projected 29% upside through modernization and utility bill-backs, this asset offers substantial opportunity for NOI growth.
The property features critical recent upgrades, including a 2017 roof replacement and 2025 electrical panel updates, significantly reducing immediate deferred maintenance risks.
Located in a high-demand neighborhood near the Ballard Locks and top-rated schools like Ballard High, the property benefits from excellent walkability and long-term tenant appeal.
The 1959 'classic' condition of the units necessitates significant capital investment in renovations to compete with modern inventory and achieve maximum rental premiums.
The lack of existing utility bill-backs and below-market rents indicates current management inefficiencies that require immediate stabilization by a new owner.
No exterior & parking available.
