Buying and selling rentals in Hazelwood
Hazelwood is about twenty minutes from our office at 920 First Capitol Drive in St. Charles. Zillow's home value index sat near $165,000 in late 2026, Redfin's small sample of sales ran near $186,000 with homes under contract in about a week, and Zumper's three-bedroom rent average was about $1,560 in October 2026, up several percent on the year. That is a gross ratio near ten percent, the strongest of the cities we serve, with an effective property tax rate near 1.55 percent.
The product is 1950s through 1970s ranches and split-levels near Boeing, the Aviator Business Park, the Hazelwood Logistics Center, and Lambert airport, with tenants who work at all of them. Owning a rental in Hazelwood means an annual rental license, a crime-free housing certificate from the police department, and a city certificate of occupancy for each tenant, and the city's own ordinance notes that nearly half its housing is rented. We build the license calendar and the make-ready cost into every offer.
The investor advantage
Underwrite before you offer
Local comps, vacancy, and capital expense risk get analyzed before an offer goes out, so the number rests on hard data.
Price the rent as a listing
The rent estimate is the figure we would list the property at, because the person running the numbers is the person who has to hit them.
Buy with a rent-ready list
We walk the property and hand you a structured list of what needs attention to reach full rental yield.
Close, then hand over the keys
Once the transaction clears, management starts the same day: punch list executed, property listed, qualified tenants placed.
Sell with a tenant in place
Showings scheduled around the lease, with tenant rights respected and buyer access managed without violating terms.
Full brokerage backing
Brad is a licensed Missouri Realtor, and the transaction runs through CityScapes Realty with MLS access and a real office behind it.
What the Hazelwood numbers look like
- Median price and rent
- Roughly $165,000 to $185,000 to buy and $1,550 a month for a three-bedroom in 2026. We underwrite the specific house, because a dry basement and a sound roof matter more than the street here.
- License, certificate, and occupancy
- A $35 annual rental license per unit renewed each January, the police department's crime-free certificate, a certificate of occupancy for each tenant, and an inspection at renewal. Missing a renewal carries late and reinstatement fees, so the calendar matters.
- Boeing and the airport
- Boeing's multi-year expansion, Mallinckrodt, and the logistics parks keep demand steady, and a house a few minutes from them rents fast to both twelve-month and furnished mid-term tenants.
- Selling with a tenant in place
- Hazelwood rentals trade investor to investor, and a clean license history is part of the value. We package it and manage showings around the tenant.

Hazelwood questions, answered
It can be, for the right property at the right price. Hazelwood has steady tenant demand, but rents and purchase prices vary street by street, so a ZIP-code average tells you very little. We underwrite the specific address with current comparable rents, realistic vacancy, make-ready cost, and reserves before you offer.
The figure depends on bedrooms, condition, parking, and the block. We pull comparable rentals that are leasing right now in that part of Hazelwood and adjust for your property, and the number you get is the number we would list it at.
That is the most common thing we do. You get a realistic rent range, a rent-ready punch list, an estimate of carrying costs, and an honest read on whether the deal works. If you buy it, the property goes straight into management with no gap, and marketing can start before you close.
Each path carries a different number. Selling occupied opens the door to investor buyers and keeps rent coming in, though it narrows the buyer pool. Selling vacant reaches owner-occupants, who often pay more, while you carry the property empty. We have handled both and can tell you which likely nets more in your situation.
Vacancy and turnover, almost every time, followed by maintenance reserves, utilities during vacancy, make-ready costs, and the occupancy permit and inspection that Hazelwood and most nearby municipalities require before a tenant moves in. We build all of it into the numbers before you make an offer.
