We are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a multifamily asset located at 1735 W. Washington Avenue in Santa Ana. The property consists of four (4) units situated on an expansive ±13,068 SF lot, featuring a unique unit mix of (2) detached two-bedroom, one-bathroom single-family homes and (1) duplex comprised of (2) one-bedroom, one-bathroom units. The property is occupied by long-term tenants, providing consistent rental income with significant upside through strategic asset management, renovation of the existing improvements, and the repositioning of rents over time.

The oversized lot presents a rare opportunity to further maximize the property's value through the potential development of ADU’s, creating a compelling long-term value-add investment opportunity (Buyer to verify development potential and feasibility with the City of Santa Ana). Ideally located in one of Santa Ana's established residential neighborhoods, the property benefits from strong and consistent rental demand driven by its close proximity to Santa Ana College, Downtown Santa Ana, major employment centers, public transportation, and a wide variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and lifestyle amenities. Residents also enjoy convenient access to the 5, 22, 55, and 57 Freeways, providing excellent regional connectivity throughout Orange County. This offering presents investors with the rare opportunity to acquire a well-located multifamily asset featuring meaningful rental upside, multiple value-add strategies, and long-term development potential in one of Orange County's most sought-after rental markets.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1950 (74 years old) with no evidence of recent renovations; the listing explicitly describes it as a value-add opportunity requiring renovation of existing improvements and repositioning of rents, indicating significant deferred maintenance.
The expansive 13,068 SF lot provides a rare opportunity for ADU development, allowing an investor to increase density and maximize the property's long-term valuation.
The unique mix of two detached single-family homes and a duplex offers a high-demand configuration that provides tenants more privacy than traditional apartment blocks, typically resulting in lower turnover.
With long-term tenants currently in place, there is a major opportunity to reposition the asset through strategic renovations and the implementation of a RUBS program to capture market-rate rents.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =13068, other record lot size in square feet = 14279.
The property is subject to the City of Santa Ana's rent control guidelines, which limits the pace of annual rent increases and may prolong the timeline for reaching full market potential.
Given the 1950 construction and long-term occupancy, the property likely requires significant capital expenditure for interior and exterior upgrades to remain competitive in the current rental market.
