Cranbrook Forest is a Class B workforce housing, value-add opportunity in the stable northwest submarket area known as Willowbrook/Champions and Ella. The two- and three-story community was built in 1983. Cranbrook Forest represents an opportunity for a new owner to implement an interior value-add program for additional rent premiums.

Cranbrook features many desirable community amenities, including five distinct floor plans (all with washer/dryer hook-ups), an upgraded leasing center and a separate room with three computer stations, a fitness center, coffee bar area, resort-style pool and children’s playground.

Over the past three to five years, ownership invested in excess of $3 million for capital improvements, primarily to the exterior of the community.

Most units remain in Classic or near-Classic condition, which provides the new buyer with the rare opportunity to renovate 100 percent of the unit interiors with a combination of upgraded appliances, countertops, cabinet fronts and hardware, backsplash, lighting and plumbing fixtures, vinyl plank flooring, and two-tone interior paint to generate up to $125/month premiums. Similar upgraded communities within the submarket are achieving up to $250 per month premiums.

Cranbrook Forest is strategically positioned in northwest Houston between Interstate 45 and Highway 249. The well-located property provides residents with short commute times to major employment centers and an abundance of retail and entertainment/recreational venues.
