San Diego, California 92103
Analysis of 1005 Lincoln Avenue, San Diego, California 92103 is currently available with a list price of $1,075,000. The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the San Diego Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for both Buy-and-Hold Investors and Owner-Occupants willing to undertake light renovation work.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1925 duplex features a split condition: the upstairs unit is fully remodeled with new flooring, cabinetry, and appliances, while the downstairs unit is described as a 'fixer' requiring a full remodel. While the renovated portion meets high standards, the substantial rehabilitation needed for the lower unit and the age of the structure result in an overall fair rating.
Situated in the highly desirable University Heights and Mission Hills area, the property offers exceptional walkability to the Vermont Street Pedestrian Bridge, local dining, and major medical centers.
Delivered vacant, this duplex allows a buyer to immediately establish market-rate rents and select their own tenants without the complications of existing lease agreements.
The property features a rare combination of an attached garage plus a long driveway for four cars, complemented by scenic canyon views and private outdoor deck spaces.
The downstairs unit is a 'fixer' requiring a full remodel, which will necessitate immediate additional capital investment and construction oversight before it can be occupied.
With a total of only 864 square feet split between two units, the individual apartments are quite small, which may limit the tenant pool to individuals or couples seeking a minimalist lifestyle.
EXCELLENT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS. This 864 sq. ft. duplex sits on a 2,722 sq. ft. lot and consists of two separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartments, making it an attractive opportunity for investors. The property is located in University Heights, close to the Vermont Street Pedestrian Bridge, as well as numerous shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, and the vibrant Hillcrest neighborhood. It is also conveniently located near several major hospitals and just minutes from popular attractions such as the San Diego Zoo. The upstairs unit is fully remodeled and features fresh paint throughout, new flooring, new gas stove and range hood, upgraded cabinets and counter tops, mirrored closet doors, new ceiling fans and upgraded lighting, new wall heaters, electric washer and dryer hookups, spacious private patio deck, small bedroom balcony and storage shed.
