Value-add 4-family opportunity in a strong South City rental pocket! Fully vacant and ready for its next chapter, 5239 Alaska gives a new owner the flexibility to begin renovations and lease-up immediately. The property sits on a large corner lot on a quiet, tree-lined street immediately adjacent to St. Cecilia Catholic School, with a large rear parking pad providing valuable off-street parking. Straightforward updates could position the units for approximately $850–$900/month in rent, making this an excellent BRRRR, buy-and-hold, or value-add rental opportunity. Enjoy classic South City living with plenty of greenspace nearby at Holly Hills and Carondelet Park, plus neighborhood favorites including Chimichanga’s Mexican Restaurant, Stellar Hog BBQ, and St. Cecilia’s famous fish fry. Great combination of location, rental potential, parking, and immediate upside. Available individually or as part of a package with 5211 Louisiana.

3642 Salena Street is an all-brick four-family in Marine Villa, built in 1894 - three stories, roughly 5,100 square feet per public record, on a 50 x 80 lot with a full unfinished basement. Three of the four units are vacant and one is occupied, giving a buyer immediate access to most of the building and a clear runway to reposition it. The bones are here: masonry construction, tall ceilings, original wood trim and mantels in several units, and separate electrical panels labeled by floor. Gas forced-air heat and gas water heaters are located in the basement. Finishes throughout are dated, and that is exactly the opportunity. At $189,500 - about $47,375 per unit - there is real room to update the interiors and push rents well above where this building sits today. Marine Villa is minutes from Anheuser-Busch, I-55 and downtown, with Cherokee Street and Soulard close by. Sold strictly as-is. Seller will make no repairs and gives no warranties. Buyer to verify unit count, square footage, rents, systems and condition.
