Our View On Auburn
Auburn is one of the Washington markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by the Boeing Auburn fabrication plant, Green River College and MultiCare Auburn Medical Center, and distribution and manufacturing employers in the Green River Valley.
Straddling the King–Pierce county line in the Green River Valley, Auburn is a working city with Sounder rail service to Seattle. Its apartment inventory leans toward modest garden communities on Lea Hill and around downtown that serve manufacturing and logistics workers.
We look for multifamily properties of 5+ units in areas such as Downtown Auburn, Lea Hill, and Lakeland Hills — from well-kept stabilized buildings to properties that need renovation, better management, or lease-up.

Auburn Seller FAQ
Is Auburn a market you actively buy in?
It is. We review Auburn apartment buildings of five or more units, with particular attention to Downtown Auburn, Lea Hill, Lakeland Hills, and West Hill.
Why is Auburn a good place to own rentals?
The renter base in Auburn draws on the Boeing Auburn fabrication plant, Green River College and MultiCare Auburn Medical Center, and distribution and manufacturing employers in the Green River Valley, which gives well-run apartment buildings a steady pool of tenants.
Do I need to fix up my Auburn building before selling?
No. We price in deferred maintenance, vacancy, and below-market rents ourselves, so you can sell the property as it stands.
Can I sell my Auburn apartment building off-market?
Yes. We work directly with owners and through listing agents. Off-market conversations are confidential, and we coordinate tours so tenants and staff are not disrupted.
