5327 Willow Ct, Agoura Hills — 2004 Suburban Investment
Newer 2004 vintage in a high-income, owner-heavy pocket of Agoura Hills positions the asset competitively against older local stock, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Neighborhood occupancy trends are softer, so leasing strategy and unit positioning matter for stability.
The property sits in a suburban Los Angeles County neighborhood rated B+ (381 of 1,441 metro neighborhoods), indicating above metro median fundamentals without the pricing volatility of core urban districts. Park access is a standout strength, with the area competitive among Los Angeles neighborhoods and top quartile nationally for park density, supporting family-friendly living and outdoor-oriented lifestyles.
Local services skew toward daily needs rather than dense retail corridors. Grocery access is solid (around the upper quartile nationally), while cafes and pharmacies are comparatively sparse. Average school ratings trend above national norms (around the 75th percentile), which supports demand from families seeking larger layouts and longer tenure.
Construction in the immediate neighborhood trends older (late-1970s average), while this asset’s 2004 vintage offers a relative edge in systems and finishes; investors should still plan for mid-life building updates to sustain competitiveness. Median contract rents in the neighborhood rank near the top of national markets, and elevated home values signal a high-cost ownership market that can reinforce reliance on well-run rentals and support pricing power with careful lease management.
Tenure patterns matter: neighborhood renter-occupied share is roughly one-third, suggesting a smaller but higher-income renter pool. Within a 3-mile radius, demographic statistics show population is roughly steady to slightly declining, but household counts are poised to increase as household sizes edge down — a dynamic that can expand the addressable renter base even as overall population holds flat. This context, paired with strong incomes and upward-trending median rents, underpins a pragmatic commercial real estate analysis for demand durability.
Safety indicators are mixed and should be evaluated at the neighborhood scale rather than the property. The area ranks 1,082 out of 1,441 Los Angeles metro neighborhoods on crime, which is below the metro median. Compared with neighborhoods nationwide, overall safety sits below average.
Recent trends diverge by category: property offenses have moved lower year over year, while violent offense measures increased over the same period. For investors, the takeaway is to underwrite with conservative assumptions on security, lighting, and resident engagement, and monitor trend updates rather than relying on a single snapshot.
Proximity to regional life sciences, insurance, and energy employers supports a stable professional renter base and convenient commutes. The following nearby employers anchor demand within typical suburban drive times.
- Thermo Fisher Scientific — life sciences (9.1 miles)
- Farmers Insurance Exchange — insurance (9.3 miles) — HQ
- Amgen — biotechnology (9.7 miles) — HQ
- Abbott Laboratories — healthcare (18.7 miles) — HQ
- Occidental Petroleum — energy (19.1 miles) — HQ
This 2004 asset offers more recent construction than much of the surrounding 1970s-era housing stock, providing a competitive position in a high-income, ownership-leaning submarket of Agoura Hills. Neighborhood rent levels rank among the highest nationally, and elevated home values indicate a high-cost ownership market that can sustain renter reliance on quality multifamily. Based on CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy runs softer than national leaders, so disciplined operations and targeted leasing should be central to the plan.
Within a 3-mile radius, households are expected to increase even as population trends hold flat to slightly down, implying smaller household sizes and a modest expansion of the renter addressable base. With an average unit size of 2,203 square feet, the property can cater to family renters and work-from-home households seeking larger floor plans, while investors should plan for mid-life system upgrades typical for a 2004 vintage.
- Newer 2004 vintage relative to local 1970s stock supports competitive positioning with prudent capital planning.
- High-income, owner-leaning area with strong schools and parks reinforces demand for larger, quality rentals.
- Household growth within 3 miles and rising median rents support occupancy stability and pricing power.
- Proximity to major employers (biotech, insurance, energy) underpins weekday demand and retention.
- Risk: below-median neighborhood occupancy warrants conservative underwriting and active leasing management.
