Located at 1532 South Price Road, The Porter was originally constructed in 1980. The community is comprised of 165 units with a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Amenities include a pool, club house and laundry facility. The Porter is adjacent to Arizona 101 Loop, a major freeway that connects Tempe to the rest of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

“The Porter recently underwent renovations and the new buyer plans to make further enhancements to increase the value of the asset,” said Seaman. “The demand for multifamily remains robust, as rents have continued to rise in metro Phoenix, which continues to be a leading market in terms of population growth.”
