The Dayton rental market continues to tighten, and nowhere is that more evident than in the rising demand for well-kept duplexes in the City of Dayton. The successful sale at $135,000 of 80–82 Pinehurst Ave. underscores the strong rent-to-value ratios investors are chasing, as well as the steady appreciation of multifamily properties throughout West Dayton. With spacious units, solid rental history, and desirable layout, this duplex represents exactly the type of property today’s investors remain eager to secure.
A Duplex Built for Strong Rental Returns
Offering a total of 3,036 sq. ft. across two oversized units, each side includes three bedrooms, a full bath, living room, dining room, and an eat-in kitchen — a floorplan that continues to command strong rental demand in this part of the city. Unit 82 was bringing in $900/month, and Unit 80 was move-in ready, making the property appealing to both investors and potential owner-occupants looking to offset living costs with rental income.
Why Investors Are Targeting This Area
West Dayton continues to experience a steady rise in rental rates as demand increases and inventory remains tight. Duplexes like this — with multiple porches, large basements, washer/dryer hookups, and a two-car detached garage — offer features that tenants value and are willing to pay for. The city’s improving infrastructure and proximity to major employers further contribute to the area’s long-term stability.
With updated rents, stronger management practices, and renewed investor interest, properties in the 45406 and 45405 corridors are seeing higher valuations compared to just a few years ago. This sale reflects that upward trend.
