Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, this property is over 60 years old and retains a dated interior that the listing agent explicitly notes needs 'personalized style and update.' While the hardwood floors appear intact and the home is functional, the visible kitchen cabinetry is aged, and the use of window AC units suggests a lack of modern central HVAC systems.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- ADU Development Potential
The property features a detached two-car garage and a spacious side yard with a precedent for ADU conversion set by the neighbor, offering significant value-add potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
- Corner Lot & Ample Parking
Situated on a corner lot with an adjacent service road, the home provides superior privacy and abundant parking options, addressing a common pain point in high-density Long Beach neighborhoods.
- Functional Layout
The 1,386 sqft floor plan is highly practical, featuring a master-style suite with private bath access and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow from the living area to a covered patio.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Deferred Maintenance & Updates
The property is in need of significant cosmetic and functional updates to meet modern standards, which will require additional capital investment from the buyer after closing.
- Local School Ratings
The assigned public schools for this address currently have lower performance ratings, which may limit the property's appeal to families prioritizing high-ranking educational districts.
About 6170 Downey Avenue
This 3bd, 1.75ba SFR in Long Beach is located a few blocks away from Lakewood. It's on a corner lot with a service road that provides ample parking spaces anytime of day.
