About this home

38-40 Catawba Street presents a turnkey, fully occupied multifamily investment opportunity in Roxbury with immediate cash flow and future flexibility. All leases transition to tenant-at-will in September, offering the next owner additional operational options. The well-maintained units feature updated interiors and functional layouts that have been thoughtfully refreshed over time, helping minimize near-term capital needs. Residents also enjoy a large shared backyard, providing valuable outdoor space rarely found in the area. Conveniently located near public transportation, major commuter routes, shopping, dining, parks, universities, and downtown Boston, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a stabilized asset in a strong rental market.
