South Gate, California 90280
This Legal Triplex featuring three detached houses on a single lot is a Strategic Residential Income Asset listed at $864,900, offering a stable entry point at its $864,900 Fair Market Value. With two units delivered vacant, including one featuring a modern kitchen with quartz-look counters, the property offers immediate rental upside. While maintaining a Fair Condition Rating due to deferred exterior maintenance, the detached configuration and proximity to South Gate Senior High School and Willow Elementary drive strong tenant appeal. This asset is ideal for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants looking to house-hack.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, this triplex shows a mix of conditions across its three units. The interior images reveal recent cosmetic updates in at least one unit, featuring modern white shaker-style kitchen cabinets, quartz-look countertops with a marble-patterned backsplash, and an updated walk-in shower with contemporary tiling. However, the property's exterior exhibits significant signs of age and deferred maintenance, including peeling paint, stained stucco, and weathered garage doors. While the interiors appear move-in ready, the overall structural presentation and exterior condition align with the 'fair' criteria for a property of this vintage.
This legal triplex features three detached houses on a single lot, providing tenants with more privacy and outdoor space than traditional apartment-style units, which typically commands higher rent.
With two units delivered vacant, an investor has the immediate opportunity to renovate and lease at current market rates, or an owner-occupant can move in while generating significant offsetting income.
The property is exceptionally well-located for families, situated less than a third of a mile from South Gate Senior High School and within close reach of several highly-rated elementary schools.
The property recently returned to the market after a failed escrow, which can sometimes signal underlying issues with inspections, appraisals, or buyer financing that may concern new prospects.
A recent price reduction from the original list price suggests the property may have faced challenges in attracting buyers at its initial valuation, potentially reflecting a need for cosmetic or structural updates.
