Industry: Real Estate
A Boutique 18-Unit Multifamily Community Acquired Well Below Market for $3.75M
Phoenix, AZ (PRUnderground) October 6th, 2025
Neighborhood Ventures (NV), a leading real estate operator and an online real estate investment company that enables both accredited and non-accredited investors to invest in multifamily properties, today announced the successful closing of Venture on Lockett, a boutique, four-building multifamily community in Flagstaff’s sought-after Sunnyside neighborhood. The 18-unit property was acquired for $3.75 million (approximately $208,000 per unit), well below replacement costs and comparable sales currently trading near $275,000 per unit.
Investor demand for the offering has been robust: the Venture on Lockett raise took less than 72 hours to reach the max raise amount of $1.4M, reflecting strong interest in NV’s disciplined, value-oriented approach to acquiring assets in high-demand markets.
“Venture on Lockett is a perfect example of our strategy: finding well-located, stabilized properties bought beneath replacement cost, then applying targeted management and operational oversight to maximize long-term returns,” said Jamison Manwaring, Co-founder and CEO of Neighborhood Ventures. “This deal is cash-flowing today and offers upside through market appreciation. We’re pleased with the investor response and grateful to the community of everyday Arizonans and accredited investors who helped us move quickly to close.”
Neighborhood Ventures will oversee property operations and property management through its in-house team, focusing on preserving resident satisfaction and maintaining high occupancy. As part of their value-add strategy, over the first year NV will invest roughly $48,000 per unit to modernize interiors, systems, and curb appeal – which will enable the team to realize approximately a 50% increase in the rents charged as the property is repositioned.
Key highlights of Venture on Lockett
- 18 units across four buildings (boutique, small-community scale)
- Acquisition price: $3.75M ($208,000/unit)
- Market comps: ~ $275,000/unit — indicating favorable purchase basis
- Occupancy: 100% at time of purchase
- Offering status: 100% Funded within 72 hours
“Intimate, well-maintained communities like this are highly sought after by renters who prefer neighborhood scale living but still want professionally managed housing,” said John Kobierowski, Co-founder & President of Real Estate. “Because Venture on Lockett was purchased at a discount to recent comps and is already fully occupied, we expect a clear path to stabilized cash flow and long-term appreciation – benefits that our investors look for.”
Why invest now? Market dislocations continue to create attractive entry points for experienced operators. NV’s vertically integrated model — sourcing, acquiring, and managing multifamily assets combined with a robust investor portal that allows lower minimums for local investors — is designed to give everyday Arizonans access to institutional-style opportunities.
Neighborhood Ventures remains focused on transforming underperforming assets into stabilized, cash-flowing communities while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors.
