1520 North 17th Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing, historically significant student housing asset in the heart of Temple University’s thriving off-campus rental market. Just steps from Temple’s Main Campus, this fully occupied 10-bedroom, 4-bathroom (plus 2 half-bath) property spans nearly 3,000 square feet and is ideally configured for student group living. Designed by the legendary architect Willis G. Hale in 1888 and listed on the Philadelphia Historic Registry, this three-story home offers architectural character rarely found in the student housing sector, combined with large interior living spaces, modern amenities, and entertainment-ready common areas, including a backyard and basement bar. With in-unit laundry, large communal areas, and a strong rental history, it caters directly to Temple’s large student population, 81% of whom seek housing off-campus after their freshman year. Its prime location in a high-demand, low-vacancy student submarket ensures long-term income stability. The surrounding North Philadelphia neighborhood continues to see revitalization and demand growth, supported by excellent transit access and proximity to downtown Philadelphia. This investment offers a blend of historical cachet, operational upside, and stable tenant demand, making 1520 North 17th Street a compelling acquisition for investors focused on student housing or value-driven urban rentals.
