Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1961 (65 years old) and the listing lacks mention of recent renovations to kitchens, bathrooms, or core systems like HVAC and electric. While the exterior appears well-maintained and the alley was recently repaved, the age and lack of interior updates categorize it as dated and in need of modernization.
All units are separately metered for gas and electricity with in-unit laundry hookups, resulting in minimal utility costs for the owner and maximizing net operating income.
The property offers a desirable mix of all two-bedroom units with private garages and fenced patios, providing a single-family residential feel that attracts stable, long-term tenants.
Situated in a supply-constrained rental market with immediate access to the 55 Freeway and South Coast Plaza, the property is positioned for consistent demand and long-term appreciation.

The assigned public schools carry low ratings (ranging from 2 to 3), which may limit the property's appeal to families who prioritize high-quality educational districts.
Built in 1961, the property may require significant long-term capital expenditures for aging infrastructure and systems typical of buildings from this era.
We are pleased to present 1621 S. Cedar Street, a four-unit investment opportunity located in the heart of Central Santa Ana. The property features an attractive unit mix of all two-bedroom/one-bath homes, including three single-story units and one unit over garage — offering tenants the feel of individual home living rarely found in multi-family housing. Each unit includes its own private garage, in-unit laundry hookups, and all units are separately metered for gas and electric — resulting in zero utility expense for the owner. Three of the four units feature large fenced private patios. Additional street and alley parking provides tenants convenience beyond their individual garages. The alley has recently been repaved in concrete, reducing future maintenance costs. The property is ideally situated in Central Santa Ana's supply-constrained rental market, offering investors stable long-term demand fundamentals. Tenants enjoy convenient access to numerous recreational parks within two miles, top-rated schools nearby, and some of Southern California's premier shopping, dining, and entertainment at South Coast Plaza — just minutes away. Commuters benefit from immediate proximity to the 55 Freeway and are just five miles from John Wayne Airport, providing seamless connectivity throughout the Southern California region and beyond.
