How many multi-family homes are there in Arrochar?

PropertyShark counts 3,152 residential units in Arrochar, and 851 of them are two-to-four family, about 27% of the stock. Single-family homes number 2,290 and condos number 11. Arrochar is therefore a one-family neighborhood with a meaningful two-family layer, and that layer is the inventory a multi-family buyer competes for. Joseph Ranola prices a two-family off closed two-family sales, not off the one-family median that most portals display.

What did Arrochar homes sell for in 2026?

PropertyShark reports an Arrochar median sale price of $720,000 for Q2 2026, down 10.2% year over year, on 11 transactions, down 57.7% from 26 a year earlier. Median price per square foot was $543, up 7%. Eleven sales is a thin sample, so the honest reading is that Arrochar trades slowly and a single large or small sale moves the median. Buyers of a two-family should expect few comparables and should rely on the rent roll and the building, not the headline. This figure is Q2 2026 and is not comparable to Q3 figures quoted for other neighborhoods.

How much of Arrochar is in a flood zone?

PropertyShark counts 3,146 residential buildings in Arrochar, with 941 in a flood zone and 1,666 in a hurricane evacuation zone. That means roughly 30% of buildings are in a flood zone and more than half are in an evacuation zone. Among two-to-four family buildings, 215 of 851 are in a flood zone and 426 are in an evacuation zone. For a multi-family buyer this changes insurance, lender requirements and the answer to the next question.

Can I add an apartment to an Arrochar house?

Under the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity amendments adopted December 5, 2024, an owner of a one- or two-family home can create one accessory dwelling unit of up to 800 square feet, and the owner must live on the property. The rules bar basement ADUs in expanded flood zones, and about 30% of Arrochar buildings are mapped in a flood zone. Whether a given lot qualifies depends on its zoning district and flood mapping, so the answer comes from an architect or expediter before an offer, not after. Joseph Ranola flags the question during the showing and sends it to the right professional.
