About this home

Located in the heart of South Los Angeles,  this investment property has a strong upside potential in a neighborhood that’s actively transitioning and showing signs of revitalization. This four-unit property includes two income-producing units and two vacant units, offering flexibility for owner-occupied or investors ready to capitalize on rental demand. The area is seeing increased investment and development activity, making it an up-and-coming community with growing appeal. Positioned just 1.5 miles from the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art (Star Wars Museum), 1.2 miles from the Natural History Museum, and just over a mile from the California Science Center and Children’s Science Center, this property sits at the intersection of culture, education, and innovation. It’s also only 1.3 miles from USC, making it an ideal opportunity for parents looking to avoid high dormitory costs by investing in housing for their student. Instead of paying rent, your child can live in one of the units while the others generate rental income—turning an expense into a wealth-building strategy. Adding even more value, the detached 3-car garage completely remodeled has excellent potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which could provide additional income and boost overall property value. Just 1.4 miles from BMO Stadium, home of LAFC, this property is perfectly positioned to benefit from the continued transformation of South LA. With cultural landmarks, major institutions, and infrastructure upgrades nearby, this is a rare opportunity to invest in a rising neighborhood while enjoying immediate and future gains. Some pictures have been virtually staged to create a vision for buyers. Seller motivated to entertain all offers. PRICE TO SELL.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Unit Income Potential: This quadruplex offers immediate income with two occupied units and significant upside with two vacant units, providing flexibility for maximizing rental revenue or owner-occupancy.
Strategic Location & Revitalization: Located in a rapidly transitioning South Los Angeles neighborhood, the property benefits from active revitalization, increased investment, and growing appeal, indicating strong future appreciation.
Proximity to Major Institutions & Attractions: The property is ideally situated near USC (1.3 miles), the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Natural History Museum, California Science Center, and BMO Stadium, attracting a diverse tenant pool including students and cultural enthusiasts.
ADU Conversion Opportunity: The detached, remodeled 3-car garage presents an excellent opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which can significantly boost rental income and overall property value.
Investor/Owner-Occupant Flexibility: With a mix of income-producing and vacant units, the property offers unique flexibility for investors seeking immediate cash flow or owner-occupants looking to offset housing costs with rental income.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-06-20. The sold price is $1,000,000.00. The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-03-21. The sold price is $1,675,000.00.
Age of Property: Built in 1913, the property is over a century old, which may imply potential for outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) and higher maintenance requirements compared to newer constructions.
Potential for Extensive Renovation: The mention of 'virtually staged' photos and two vacant units suggests that significant cosmetic or functional renovations may be required to maximize rental income and tenant appeal beyond the ADU conversion.
Neighborhood Transition Risks: While 'actively transitioning,' the neighborhood may still face ongoing challenges or be in an earlier stage of improvement, which could impact tenant quality, property management, or the timeline for full revitalization.
