Jefferson West

Exclusive Multifamily Opportunity

2815 W Madison Ave  |  Boise, Idaho 83702

OPPORTUNITY

Berkadia Boise Investment Sales is pleased to present the exclusive listing of Jefferson West Apartments, a 63-unit garden style community located in the coveted West End of Boise, Idaho, between downtown and the Boise Whitewater District.

Built in 1978 across four two-story buildings, Jefferson West offers fifty-four one-bedroom units, seven two-bedroom units, and two three-bedroom units. With twenty-six units already renovated at proven rent premiums and thirty-seven classic units remaining, the property presents a well-defined value-add opportunity in one of the most bikeable locations in Boise.

Renovated units feature vinyl plank flooring, updated cabinet fronts, refinished countertops, a new backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The community includes an onsite leasing office, a community laundry facility, and onsite parking, with utility costs recovered from every resident through a RUBS program.

The offering includes assumable Fannie Mae financing, fixed at 4.73% and interest only through its 2033 maturity. Paired with a renovation program the existing units have already validated, the debt gives a new owner a clear path to grow cash flow from the first year of ownership.

Jefferson West carries a Bike Score of 97, rated a Biker’s Paradise, and a Walk Score nearly double the Boise average. The property sits less than half a mile from the Boise River Greenbelt, Esther Simplot Park, and the Boise Whitewater Park, an eleven minute ride from the State Capitol and downtown Boise, with Main Street, State Street, and the I-184 Connector all within a mile. Public and private investment is concentrated at the neighborhood’s doorstep, led by the College of Western Idaho’s Micron Academic Center at Whitewater Park Boulevard and Main Street, positioning the asset for durable renter demand as the district continues to mature.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

FULLY LEASED
Jefferson West is 100 percent leased with no concessions, reflecting strong, steady demand for the location and the renovated product.

CAPITAL FLOWING IN
Half a mile west, the College of Western Idaho’s Micron Academic Center anchors an approximately $120 million River District project. Boise’s 30th Street urban renewal district continues to fund roadway and utility improvements surrounding the property, including a planned redevelopment of Idaho Street two blocks away designed to increase walkability and neighborhood desirability.

ASSUMABLE FINANCING
The offering includes an assumable $7,547,000 Fannie Mae loan serviced by Berkadia, fixed at 4.73% and interest only through its July 2033 maturity. Annual debt service of approximately $357,000 is comfortably covered by in-place income, giving a new owner positive leverage and seven years of rate certainty.

PROVEN RENOVATION UPSIDE
Twenty-six units have been renovated and already lease above their classic counterparts. Berkadia projects premiums of $75 to $350 per unit across the thirty-seven remaining classic units, increasing Gross Potential Rent by approximately $51,000 per year on an estimated interior budget of $253,500.

ASSET

Jefferson West Apartments comprises 63 units across four two-story buildings on 1.79 acres in the West End of Boise. The community was built in 1978 and is zoned R-3D. Buildings are wood-framed on concrete slab-on-grade foundations, finished in painted wood siding with stone masonry veneer beneath pitched asphalt composition shingle roofs. Units are accessed from the exterior by wood-framed stairs, with double-pane vinyl windows and sliding glass doors, and concrete patios at ground floor end units.

The unit mix comprises fifty-four one-bedroom units in three floor plans, along with seven two-bedroom units, one three-bedroom unit, and a three-bedroom, two-bath house at 1,875 square feet. Twenty-six units have been renovated with vinyl plank flooring, updated cabinet fronts, refinished countertops, a new backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The remaining thirty-seven classic units carry carpet and vinyl flooring, composition board cabinetry, plastic laminate countertops, and a standard electric appliance package with dishwasher and disposal.

Community amenities include an onsite leasing office and a coin-operated laundry facility. Units are heated by electric baseboard and cooled by through-wall air conditioning, with an individual electric water heater in each unit. Electrical service is individually metered with copper branch wiring, and plumbing is copper supply with PVC drain lines. Water, sewer, and trash are recovered from residents through a RUBS program. The property provides 63 open surface parking spaces.

Value Add

Jefferson West offers a proven, repeatable interior renovation program with more than half of the units still in classic condition.

  • Renovated: 26 units have received vinyl plank flooring, updated cabinet fronts, refinished countertops, a new backsplash, and stainless steel appliances.
  • Classic: 37 units remain in original condition with carpet and vinyl flooring, composition board cabinetry, plastic laminate countertops, and a standard appliance package.

Renovated one-bedroom units currently achieve in-place rents $93 to $126 per month higher than classic units of the same floor plan, actively proving the upside available to a new owner. Berkadia projects premiums of $75 to $125 on the remaining one-bedroom units, $150 on the two-bedroom units, and $350 on the three-bedroom house, increasing Gross Potential Rent at Jefferson West by approximately $51,000 per year.

Given the strength of the West End location, an owner pursuing a deeper interior program has additional room to push rents beyond the projected premiums.
