Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready following an extensive 'freshening' in 2025-2026, which included a new roof, new LVP flooring throughout, and fresh interior/exterior paint. While it maintains its 1920s character with original cabinetry and vintage-style tile, the addition of brand-new washers/dryers in every unit and recent termite tenting demonstrates a high level of maintenance and functional updates.

Situated just steps from Long Beach's trendy 'Retro Row' on 4th Street, offering high tenant demand and a vibrant urban lifestyle.
- Extensive Recent Upgrades
The property features a new roof (2025), new LVP flooring, fresh interior/exterior paint, and updated bathroom tile, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure.
- Turnkey Amenities

- Century-Old Infrastructure
Built in 1923, the property may have aging underlying systems (plumbing/electrical) typical of the era that were not explicitly noted as fully replaced.
- Parking Constraints
