Built in 1983, the property consists of several two-story buildings. Occupancy is 94%. Asking rental rates range from $0.81 per sf per month for an 850-sf two-bedroom unit to $1.16 per sf per month for a 450-sf studio unit.

The listing broker, Kenny Dudunakis of Hendricks & Partners, tells GlobeSt.com that Western National came to town about six years ago and rapidly acquired five properties and then stopped.
