Quadplex next to an apartment. Does apartment dictate everything?

[Jacob Hanson]

There is a quadplex that I'm looking into that is across the street from a large apartment building.  The quadplex seems like an ok deal, but is the apartment going to dictate my rents and what the tenants should expect to pay for utilities?  I'm afraid that because the quadplex is a quadplex by design that it is too similar to the apartment to provide any advantages to the apartment building.

Does anyone have any insights?
