The property was built in 1960 (64 years old) and is explicitly marketed as a 1.04-acre infill development site for multi-unit residential use. The listing focuses on land value, entitlements for up to 22 units, and 'generational use' rather than the condition of the existing 3-bedroom structure, which meets the criteria for a tear-down based on age and development positioning.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 45302, living area = 2987.
The 1.04-acre infill site represents a rare opportunity in a supply-constrained North Orange County market, with a confirmed pathway for up to 11 units or 22 units via State Density Bonus.
Formal consultation with city planning staff has already confirmed support for a Planned Unit Development, materially reducing the regulatory risk and timeline for developers.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =45302, other record lot size in square feet = 48900. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
The $3.5 million list price is positioned for land value and development potential, making it a high-cost entry for buyers not looking to execute a multi-unit project.
Achieving the maximum density of 22 units is subject to state affordable housing obligations, which may impact the overall project pro forma and complexity.
11252 Chapman Avenue is a 1.04-acre infill site in the City of Garden Grove, one of the few remaining large-lot opportunities in North Orange County positioned for multi-unit residential development. The site holds a documented, staff-confirmed entitlement pathway. City planning staff confirmed through formal consultation that a Planned Unit Development would support up to 11 dwelling units, with State Density Bonus optionality extending to 22 units subject to affordable housing obligations. This planning record materially de-risks the entitlement process. This asset combines clear planning certainty with favorable physical fundamentals in a supply-constrained infill market. Located on Chapman Avenue between Euclid Avenue and 9th Street, the property provides direct vehicular access and full municipal water and sewer service. The site offers scale, location and infrastructure suited to structured development or generational use.
