Los Angeles, California 90007
Analysis of 1188 W 28th, Los Angeles, California 90007 is currently available with a list price of $2,450,000. 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 Los Angeles 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.
Originally built in 1902, the property shows signs of partial updates including newer laminate flooring and modern bathroom vanities likely installed within the last 10-15 years. However, the presence of a portable space heater suggests a lack of modern central HVAC, and the bathroom tile and wall conditions show visible wear and aging. As a 'value-add' investment, the property is functional for student housing but remains dated and requires systematic updates to kitchens, baths, and mechanical systems.
Situated just two blocks from USC Village and within the DPS Safety Patrol Zone, the property offers unparalleled proximity and security for student tenants.
The oversized 8,712 sq. ft. lot and LARD1.5 zoning provide significant ADU potential, while current rents sit well below the projected market rate of $18,000/month.
Featuring eight private parking spaces, this asset provides a rare and highly sought-after amenity in a dense urban environment where parking is at a premium.
Originally constructed in 1902, the property may necessitate higher-than-average maintenance costs and potential upgrades to aging systems to remain competitive.
Managing a 13-bedroom student housing facility involves intensive operational oversight, including frequent lease turnovers and high-wear-and-tear considerations.
