About This Home
Two homes, one lot — and one of the best entry-point investments in Columbia County. This St. Helens duplex offers a 2BR/1BA front unit (832 SF) currently leased through September 2026 at $1,750/month, plus a 2BR/1BA rear unit (720 SF) with its own private access from N 10th Street — vacant and ready for an owner-occupant or immediate re-lease at market rate. Combined rents at stabilization top $3,500/month. Both units are all-electric with public water and sewer, and the property has a track record of strong occupancy and consistent rent growth.
