Live in one side and rent the other. 172 Altruria Street is a side-by-side duplex in the South Park area of South Buffalo (Buffalo, NY 14220) with two townhouse-style units of nearly 1,800 sq ft each, 3,596 sq ft total. Each unit has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, in-unit laundry, and two floors of living space with original woodwork, interior doors, and stained glass. With no upstairs neighbor, each side lives more like a single-family home than a typical Buffalo double. The right side is leased at $1,475/month through January 31, 2027, and the vacant left side is estimated to rent for $1,550/month after minimal cosmetic updates, for combined rent potential of about $3,025/month. An owner-occupant can move into the vacant side and let the tenant’s rent offset the cost of ownership. An investor can complete the cosmetic work and lease both sides. Ownership details: separate gas and electric meters, 2026-27 taxes of $3,223 plus $395 sewer rent, roof replaced in 2015, a full basement under both units for storage, and one off-street parking space serving the right-side unit. Located on a residential side street off South Park Avenue. Side-by-side layouts like this are less common than Buffalo’s typical upper/lower doubles. Welcome home to the house you didn’t know existed.
