The list price of $2,325,000 for only 1,000 square of living space represents a very high cost-per-square-foot, making the investment heavily dependent on future development success rather than current rental yields.
Pleased to present 207 38th Street, a rare coastal investment opportunity located just steps from the beach in one of Newport Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Situated on a ±2,375 square foot lot, the property offers a unique combination of in-place income and significant upside potential, making it well-suited for investors, developers, or owner-users. The property consists of two 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, each approximately ±500 square feet. The front unit is currently vacant, providing immediate flexibility for renovation or occupancy, while the rear unit is leased on a month-to-month basis, allowing for optionality in repositioning or redevelopment timing. Built in 1952, the existing improvements present an opportunity for a buyer to execute a comprehensive renovation program to create high-end coastal rentals, or to redevelop the site into a new custom residence or luxury multifamily property, subject to city approvals. With its premier beach-close location, walkability to local amenities, and strong underlying land value, 207 38th Street represents a compelling opportunity to capitalize on one of the most desirable coastal markets in Southern California.
