Santa Ana, California 92701
Rare mixed-use opportunity on Santa Ana's South Main Street corridor! 725 S Main St offers three units on one lot: two street-facing storefronts plus an attached house in the rear. One storefront was previously a beauty salon, and the other has served as a thrift shop and place of worship, showing how flexible the space is for retail, service, office, or assembly uses. The rear house adds a third income stream, or an ideal setup for an owner-user who wants to operate up front and collect rent in back. Excellent Main Street visibility and signage exposure, just south of Downtown Santa Ana and minutes from the Civic Center, the OC Streetcar line, and the 5 and 55 freeways. Whether you're an investor seeking multiple income sources or a business owner ready to stop renting, this one deserves a look. Buyer to verify all information, including permitted uses, square footage, and unit count.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1975 with no evidence of recent renovations. Interior images reveal significant deferred maintenance, including damaged walls with holes, missing or stained ceiling tiles, and heavily soiled flooring. The property shows signs of safety and structural neglect that require a comprehensive rehab rather than minor repairs.
The property features two street-facing storefronts and a rear residential house on a single lot, offering exceptional flexibility for retail, office, or assembly uses alongside residential living.
Situated on the South Main Street corridor with excellent signage exposure, the property provides easy access to Downtown Santa Ana, the Civic Center, the OC Streetcar line, and major freeways.
With three distinct units, this property presents a rare opportunity for investors to generate diversified rental income or for owner-users to operate a business while collecting rent from the other units.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7405, other record lot size in square feet = 7987.
With 7 bedrooms distributed across only 1,842 square feet among three units, the individual rooms and commercial areas are likely very small, which may limit certain business types or tenant profiles.
The property is served by schools with low performance ratings, ranging from 2 to 4, which could be a significant drawback for residential tenants with school-aged children.
