Property Description
Prime investment opportunity just minutes from Texas State University, Downtown San Marcos, and the San Marcos River! This income-producing duplex at 1018 Mead St offers the perfect setup for investors, parents of incoming Texas State students, or buyers looking to house hack and build long-term wealth.
Unit A (3 bed / 2 bath) is currently occupied, providing immediate rental income. Unit B is about 468 sq ft studio and is vacant — ready for an owner-occupant, student, or new tenant. Live in one side and let the other help cover your mortgage, or lease both units for strong rental potential in a high-demand student market.
Located near Hopkins Street and I-35 with quick access to campus, The Square in Downtown San Marcos, H-E-B, Target, Sewell Park, Rio Vista Park, restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment. Easy commute to Austin or New Braunfels.
This property features a large fenced backyard, two designated outdoor parking spaces for the studio, and strong rental appeal due to its proximity to Texas State University.
Ideal for:
• Parents wanting to invest instead of paying dorm costs
• First-time investors seeking a cash-flow opportunity
• Buyers looking to house hack and reduce living expenses
• Long-term hold investors in a growing college market
With Texas State enrollment continuing to grow and rental demand remaining strong, opportunities like this — with one unit already producing income and one vacant for flexibility — are rare.
Whether you're buying for your student this fall or looking to expand your investment portfolio, this duplex offers location, flexibility, and income potential.
