Just Listed: 37 Units | 152 Beds | Adjacent to SHSU | Newer Construction | Huntsville, Texas
Stabilized, Cash-Flowing Asset with Mark-to-Market Upside
Property is currently leased on a by-the-bed basis and the pre-leasing velocity is strong
Captive, Growing Demand Base
Sam Houston State University has a total enrollment of ~21,000 students, with roughly 78% of undergraduates living off-campus and on-campus housing structurally limited to ~4,100 beds. SHSU's recent move to Conference USA further elevates the University's regional profile and athletic visibility
Newly Constructed, Premium Product
Built in 2021, the cottage community offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, concrete and wood-style flooring, high 9-foot ceilings, full-size washers and dryers, walk-in closets, and private bathrooms in every bedroom - a finish package that consistently outperforms the traditional garden-style competition in the SHSU sub-market
Efficient, Low-Overhead Operations
The cottage format has minimal common-area and shared-amenity space to maintain, residents pay their own electric and water, and the asset requires little to no near-term capital expenditure - driving lower expense load and simpler management oversight than traditional student communities
Walk-to-Campus Location
Bearkat Cottages is a ~10-Minute Walk to Sam Houston State University Campus and is adjacent to Elliott T. Bowers Stadium
