210 Sutton Way, Grass Valley CA — Newer 81-Unit Multifamily
Neighborhood renter demand is broad and occupancy trends are stable relative to the metro, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data, positioning this asset for steady leasing performance.
The property sits in an Inner Suburb neighborhood of Grass Valley that ranks 1 out of 39 metro neighborhoods, with amenity access in the top quartile nationally. Cafes, restaurants, groceries, and pharmacies index strongly by WDSuite’s neighborhood metrics, reinforcing day-to-day convenience that supports tenant retention and leasing velocity.
Neighborhood occupancy is above the metro median (rank 17 of 39; 55th percentile nationally), and the share of housing units that are renter-occupied is elevated (rank 2 of 39; high national percentile). For investors, that renter concentration points to a deeper tenant base and generally steadier absorption for multifamily.
Home values in the neighborhood benchmark high versus the nation (upper percentiles), and the value-to-income ratio also trends elevated. In practice, that high-cost ownership market tends to sustain rental demand and can support pricing power and lease retention for well-managed assets.
Within a 3-mile radius, WDSuite’s data shows recent population growth alongside a rising household count and slightly smaller average household size. Looking forward, forecasts indicate additional population and household growth by 2028, which typically expands the renter pool and supports occupancy stability. Local schools average around 4 out of 5 (rank 2 of 39; strong nationally), another factor that can bolster livability for a range of renter profiles. This context, coupled with amenity strength, underpins the neighborhood’s competitive standing in regional commercial real estate analysis.
Safety indicators for the neighborhood track below national averages. The neighborhood’s crime ranking sits in the lower tier among 39 metro neighborhoods, and national percentiles point to comparatively higher reported incident levels than many U.S. neighborhoods. Investors should underwrite with conservative assumptions on security, insurance, and on-site management practices.
Recent trends are mixed: property offense estimates have improved year over year, while violent offense estimates ticked up. These are neighborhood-level readings, not property-specific, but they provide context for risk management, resident screening, and potential operating expenses relative to peer submarkets.
Regional employment access is anchored by technology and office employers within commuting range, which can help support renter demand even as hiring cycles shift. Notable nearby employer:
- Intel Folsom FM5 — technology campus (40.9 miles)
Built in 2004, the asset is newer than much of the surrounding housing stock, offering relative competitiveness versus older product while leaving room for targeted modernization as systems age. Neighborhood-level fundamentals are favorable: occupancy trends are above the metro median, renter-occupied share is high, and amenity access is among the strongest in the region — dynamics that typically support lease-up efficiency and retention. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, high neighborhood home values and value-to-income ratios indicate a high-cost ownership market, reinforcing renter reliance on multifamily housing.
Within a 3-mile radius, population and household counts have grown and are forecast to continue rising into the medium term, expanding the tenant base and supporting occupancy stability. School quality, daily-needs retail, and dining density further strengthen livability, while mixed safety signals warrant prudent underwriting and active property management.
