Property, while not in perfect condition, is situated on a nice plot of land with a great back yard and has parking for plenty of cars. In addition to being so close to campus, the house is also near all the amenities that the Hillside neighborhood has to offer, and is relatively close to future Green line stop on College Avenue, Teele Square and Davis Square. This is a great opportunity to add critical mass to your rental portfolio.
