Built in 1947 (79 years old).
Condition: Built in 1947, this four-plex is described as 'well maintained' with 'well kept interiors,' suggesting regular upkeep. However, the absence of interior photos for kitchens and bathrooms, combined with the property's age and the AI analysis noting a 'Lack of Detailed Interior Modernization,' indicates these areas likely feature outdated styles and components. While functional, significant updates would be required to bring them to modern standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Income Potential: This well-maintained four-plex (quadruplex) with four 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units is explicitly marketed as a 'Residential Income' property, offering significant rental revenue opportunities for investors.
Prime & Accessible Location: Strategically located on the Bell Gardens - Downey border, providing convenient access to Downey amenities, major freeways (5 FWY and 710 FWY), and local attractions including schools, parks, and entertainment venues.
Enhanced Security & Maintenance: The property is gated and secured with a remote automatic gate opener, features custom-made security front doors, and is described as 'well maintained' with 'well kept' interiors, contributing to tenant safety and property longevity.
Ample Parking & Tenant Amenities: Offers a minimum of 10-14 parking spaces, tenant carports with storage, and a community laundry room that generates additional income, significantly enhancing tenant convenience and property appeal.
Additional Value-Add Structure: Includes a detached building that has been 'improved,' offering potential for further development, additional storage, or another income stream, adding flexibility and value to the investment.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for System Upgrades: Built in 1947, the property, despite being well-maintained, may require future investments in updating major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) to meet modern efficiency standards or prevent costly repairs.
Standardized Unit Configuration: All four units are uniformly 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, which might limit the diversity of the potential tenant pool or the ability to command premium rents compared to properties offering a mix of unit sizes or more bathrooms.
Lack of Detailed Interior Modernization: While interiors are described as 'well kept,' the listing does not specify recent significant upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, or other interior finishes, suggesting units may have dated aesthetics that could require renovation to maximize rental income or attract higher-paying tenants.
