More Insights
Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1964, making it 60 years old. While the listing mentions 'fresh new exterior paint and brand-new windows,' indicating recent exterior updates, the interior images reveal dated kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchens feature older white cabinets, white appliances, and tiled floors, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago or original components with minor cosmetic changes. Bathrooms also show older vanities, countertops, and tiled floors. The overall interior style is functional but significantly outdated, requiring minor to moderate updates to meet current standards. The property is maintained and livable, but not extensively renovated throughout to qualify as 'Good'.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Richard Henry Dana Middle School (9/10).
Multi-Unit Investment Opportunity: This property is explicitly marketed as an 'Exceptional 5-Unit Investment Opportunity' and a 'turnkey multi-family asset,' ideal for investors seeking income-producing properties.
Recent Exterior Upgrades: The building benefits from 'fresh new exterior paint and brand-new windows,' enhancing curb appeal, energy efficiency, and tenant comfort, potentially reducing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner.
Prime & Accessible Location: Situated in a 'prime location' in Hawthorne, it offers convenient access to local schools, major freeways, shopping centers, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, appealing to a broad tenant base.
Strong Rental Market Demand: The property is positioned in a 'thriving South Bay community' with 'high demand for rentals,' suggesting strong rental appeal, consistent occupancy, and long-term stability for investors.
Low Maintenance Potential: Described as a 'low-maintenance, income-producing asset' and 'well-maintained,' with recent upgrades contributing to this, which can be attractive to investors looking for less hands-on management.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-04-04. The sold price is $1,300,000.00.
Age of Property & Potential Systemic Issues: Built in 1964, the property is 60 years old. While cosmetic updates are noted, major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or aging, potentially requiring significant capital expenditures in the future.
Lack of Interior Unit Details: The description provides no information regarding the interior condition, layouts, or finishes of the individual 5 units, making it difficult to assess current rental value, tenant quality, or immediate renovation needs without further inspection.
Unspecified Parking Availability: For a 5-unit multi-family property, parking is a critical amenity for tenants. The listing does not mention the availability or type of parking (e.g., dedicated spaces, street parking), which could be a significant drawback in a dense urban area.
