6565 Sabado Tarde Road, Isla Vista

About 6565 Sabado Tarde Road

6565 Sabado Tarde is a two-building, 19-unit student housing asset just over a block away from the UC Santa Barbara campus and one block from the beach, the two factors that drive leasing velocity and rent premiums in Isla Vista. The property offers 55 beds across 30 bedrooms in a mix of thirteen 1BD/1BA units and six townhomes (one 2BD and five 3BD), and is rented by the unit, giving a new owner clear levers on rent growth and turnover-driven repricing each academic year. The units present in turn-key condition, with updated interiors--vinyl plank flooring, refreshed kitchens, and solid appliances. Projected 2026/27 income of $857,952, plus $54,871 in other income from parking, RUBS, and laundry, supports an NOI of $622,060 and a 5.50% cap rate at the asking price.Isla Vista is the primary off-campus housing market for UCSB, whose enrollment sits at roughly 26,000 students. That scarcity has driven steady long-term rent growth: the submarket is roughly 99% renter-occupied with consistently low vacancy and now carries some of the highest median rents in the greater Santa Barbara area. High annual turnover lets owners reset rents to market each cycle, and units are routinely pre-leased well ahead of the academic year with minimal downtime.
