PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Comprehensive 2023 Rebuild
Fully rebuilt from the foundation up in 2023, this home offers the reliability of new construction with all-new plumbing, electrical, roof, and structural systems, ensuring low immediate maintenance costs.
- High-Value ADU Potential
The property comes with pre-approved plans for two backyard ADUs, providing a turnkey opportunity for significant rental income, guest housing, or multi-generational living configurations.
- Superior Parking & Accessibility
Rare for the area, the property features gated parking for over 4 vehicles with alley access and is strategically located near major highways (I-5, I-15, SR-94) for an effortless commute to Downtown and Naval bases.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Density on Small Lot
While the ADU potential is a strength, the 3,422 sqft lot size means that adding two additional units would significantly limit private outdoor space and create a high-density environment.
- Modest School Ratings
The local public schools assigned to this address currently carry lower performance ratings (mostly 3/10), which may be a drawback for families prioritizing top-tier educational districts.
