Property Price
SUMMARY
Analysis of 1711 Fremont, South Pasadena, California 91030 is currently available with a list price of $2,880,000. The property maintains a Good Condition Rating (78/100), reflecting solid structural condition with well-maintained systems. The property presents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a move-in ready home. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the South Pasadena 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.
Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property, built in 1950, has undergone extensive recent renovations in four of its six units, bringing them to a near-new condition. These units feature modern kitchens with new cabinetry, stainless steel sinks, and dishwashers, along with updated bathrooms, new flooring, paint, and lighting, as evidenced by the images. While these renovated units are move-in ready and meet high standards, the presence of window air conditioning units throughout, the fact that two units are not explicitly stated as renovated, and the overall age of the building prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating. The property is well-maintained, and the upgraded electrical panels are a positive, but it doesn't meet the 'all components new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards' for an 'Excellent' score.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Exceptional Location & School District
Situated in South Pasadena's award-winning school district, a highly desirable, safe, and quiet residential neighborhood with excellent walkability to all three schools, parks, and local amenities.
- No Rent Control
A significant advantage for investors, as the property is not subject to rent control, allowing for market-rate adjustments and maximizing rental income potential in a competitive California market.
- Extensive Recent Renovations
Four of the six units have been extensively remodeled to near-new condition, featuring modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, and new finishes, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Extended Closing Timeline
The sale is contingent on the seller's 1031 exchange, requiring a preferred closing window of February to March 2026, which represents a significant delay for capital deployment.
- Partial Renovations & Building Age
While four units are extensively remodeled, two units may not be, and the overall building dates back to 1950, potentially leading to future maintenance or upgrade requirements for older systems or un-renovated spaces.
- Reliance on Pro Forma Cap Rate
The attractive 4.02% cap rate is pro forma, contingent on successfully leasing the four vacant units at market rates, meaning the current operational cap rate is likely lower and requires active management to achieve the projected returns.
About 1711 Fremont
1711 Fremont Ave is a well-maintained 1950-built (extensively owner-remodeled in recent years) 6-unit apartment building offering 5,315 square feet on a 9,257 sq ft lot, proudly situated in the award-winning, top-notch South Pasadena Unified School District with NO RENT CONTROL. Residents enjoy a short 5-10 minute walk to all three schools — South Pasadena High School, Middle School, and A+-rated Arroyo Vista Elementary — making it ideal for families in one of the area’s safest and most quiet residential neighborhoods. The unit mix features three 2-bedroom units (Units A and B are identical 2-story townhouse-style layouts with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths upstairs/downstairs; Unit F offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a huge private balcony) and three 1-bedroom/1-bath units. Four units have been brought to near-new condition with modern kitchens (stainless steel sinks, dishwashers, cabinetry), updated bathrooms, new flooring, paint, and lighting. Units C, D, and E share identical floor plans, while flooring finishes vary slightly across the remodeled units. The property includes covered carport parking for every unit, upgraded electrical panels, a sprinkler system, window air conditioning units, and a shared on-site laundry room providing additional income. Just one block from Fair Oaks Ave, the building is conveniently near parks, the Metro Gold Line, and vibrant shops/restaurants along Fair Oaks and Mission Street. This combination of premier school access, extensive owner upgrades, and rarity — first time available in over 18 years — presents a compelling value-add opportunity with a pro forma cap rate of 4.02% at the $2,880,000 asking price, achieved by leasing the four vacant units to market rents. Four units will be delivered vacant at closing (several strong applications with excellent credit currently under review and on hold — contact agent for details). The sale is subject to the seller completing a 1031 exchange with a preferred closing window of February to March 2026.
