Residential Startup a Smashing Success in Sandusky

Just a few months after quietly welcoming its first tenants, Villas at Sandy Creek is nearly full. The 126-unit gated community is located near Sandusky, Ohio. The residential development was a pivot for Ohio-based Cafaro Company, which for 75 years concentrated on retail centers. In 2022, Cafaro partnered with another Ohio company, Crossroads Group LLC, to transform 15 acres of the Sandusky Mall property for multi-family residential use. The development cost was not disclosed.

Two styles are available, 1,309 square foot 2-bedroom ranch suites and 1,404 square foot 2-story, 2-bedroom townhouses. Both types offer private entrances and attached garages. Each home is fully equipped with a washer, dryer and luxury touches throughout. Each kitchen comes with high-end appliances and granite countertops. Tenants have access to a community clubhouse. Most importantly, they are only steps away from all the stores and restaurants of Sandusky Mall.

The first residents arrived in November, 2023. As of July, 2024, Villas at Sandy Creek is 93% occupied. Monthly rental rates range from $1,575 to $1,645. For more information about the development, visit the website: www.villasatsandycreek.com
