Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, the property is significantly dated but remains functional and 'ready to rent' due to cosmetic updates like bamboo flooring and fresh interior paint. The kitchen is a basic garage conversion with older tile and exposed rafters, and the cooling relies on wall units rather than central HVAC. While the age exceeds 70 years, its move-in ready status for tenants prevents a 'poor' rating, though it is primarily marketed for its land and redevelopment potential.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12100, living area = 1077.
The oversized 12,100 sq. ft. lot combined with the College Area Community Plan allows for 5–9 units per acre, offering a rare high-density development opportunity.
Located within walking distance of San Diego State University, the property is perfectly positioned to capture consistent demand in one of the city's strongest rental markets.
With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in the primary structure, the current configuration is undersized for the price point compared to traditional single-family residences.
The use of a converted garage and bonus rooms creates a non-traditional layout that may require significant structural reconfiguration to meet modern buyer expectations.
