Description:

281 S. Avenue 52 is a 24‑unit apartment community in Highland Park offering an immediate 5.37% in‑place cap rate with significant upside from below‑market rents.  The four‑building, courtyard‑style property features a strong unit mix of mostly two‑bedroom units, 26 on‑site parking spaces, on‑site laundry, and a completed soft‑story retrofit on a 0.68‑acre LARD2 site.


Located just south of Figueroa and minutes from the 110 Freeway, the property offers quick access to Downtown Los Angeles, South Pasadena, and Pasadena, plus the Metro A Line at Highland Park Station.  The immediate area is walkable to neighborhood retail, restaurants, and nightlife along Figueroa and York, in a renter‑dominant submarket with median household income near $95,000 and a median home value over $1.1 million
