*NEW PRICE* Looking for a rental that’s easy to fill and easy to own? This Dalhousie half duplex is a short walk from Dalhousie Station LRT, with the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre and SAIT all a quick train or drive away. That means a deep, steady pool of tenants: students, hospital staff and young professionals who want to live near transit. Add no condo fees, a roof replaced in the last few years, R-C2 zoning and a vacant home ready for quick possession, and the numbers start to make a lot of sense.The bi-level layout works well for renting. The main floor has a large, bright living room with space for a full sectional, a galley kitchen that keeps everything close, and a dining area that opens onto the deck and fenced backyard. The primary bedroom is also on this level, with a walk-in closet and the main 4-piece bathroom just steps away.Downstairs, two more bedrooms, a rec room and a 3-piece bathroom give the home a second level of living. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, housemates aren’t lined up for one shower in the morning, which matters when people share. The laundry room has a new washer and dryer, and a separate storage room keeps extra gear out of the way. A parking pad adds off-street parking.For a buy-and-hold investor, the location does a lot of the work. Dalhousie Station puts downtown, the university and the hospital a short commute away, and the grocery store, shops and restaurants at the station are a few minutes’ walk. Schools, parks, pathways and quick access to Crowchild Trail round out a community that has stayed in demand for decades. Homes this close to the LRT and a major university tend to stay popular with renters, which supports both rents and long-term value.Not an investor? The same features make it a smart first purchase, or a home for parents helping a university student get set up, with room to rent out a bedroom or two to help carry the costs.The home is vacant, so there’s no tenant to work around a nd no lease to wait out. Set your own rents, choose your own tenants and start from day one. Book your private showing today. (id:27476)
