Neighborhood occupancy trends are elevated versus many U.S. areas, supporting stable rent rolls for well-run assets, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. These are neighborhood-level indicators, not property performance.
Situated in Los Angeles County’s Urban Core, the surrounding neighborhood posts occupancy that is above the metro median among 1,441 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods, indicating steady renter demand at the submarket level. Restaurants and grocery access are relatively strong for this part of the metro, while cafés and pharmacies are thinner, which suggests everyday convenience with some amenity gaps investors should note.
School quality in the area trends above national norms (average ratings tracking in the upper tier nationally), which can aid family retention and support lease stability for larger floor plans. Park access also benchmarks well nationally, adding to livability factors that help with marketing and renewals.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographic data indicate a near-even split between owner- and renter-occupied housing, creating a deep tenant base for multifamily operators. Over the past several years, local households increased even as average household size edged down, and projections point to more households and smaller sizes ahead; that dynamic typically expands the renter pool and supports occupancy consistency.
Ownership costs in this part of Los Angeles County are elevated relative to incomes, and home values have appreciated meaningfully in recent years. For investors, a high-cost ownership market tends to reinforce reliance on multifamily housing, supporting pricing power where operations and product quality are competitive.
Safety indicators for the neighborhood benchmark below national medians, and the area is not among the stronger-performing Los Angeles neighborhoods on this measure. For investors, this warrants prudent security planning and attentive property management to support resident retention.
Recent trends show mixed signals: estimated property offenses have eased year over year, while violent offense estimates have moved higher. These are neighborhood-level readings, not site-specific, and should be contextualized with on-the-ground diligence and comparable submarket data.
The area draws from a broad blue- and white-collar employment base, with nearby industrial gases, beverage, defense, and metals employers that support workforce housing demand and commute convenience.
- Airgas — industrial gases (4.3 miles)
- Coca-Cola Downey — beverage bottling (6.0 miles)
- Raytheon Public Safety RTC — defense technology (6.4 miles)
- Air Products & Chemicals — industrial gases (7.2 miles)
- Reliance Steel & Aluminum — metals distribution (9.3 miles) — HQ
Built in 1988, the 20-unit asset is newer than much of the local housing stock, providing a competitive edge versus older inventory while still offering clear value-add pathways through modernization and system upgrades. Neighborhood occupancy trends score above the metro median, and within a 3-mile radius the renter-occupied share remains substantial, supporting a broad tenant base. Elevated ownership costs in Los Angeles County further sustain rental demand, while household growth and smaller average household sizes point to continued depth for multifamily leasing.
According to commercial real estate analysis from WDSuite, local restaurants, groceries, and parks benchmark favorably, aiding lease retention, though limited café and pharmacy density means amenities are not uniformly distributed. Safety performance trails national norms, so underwriting should account for security, lighting, and community engagement to protect rent rolls.
- 1988 vintage offers competitive positioning versus older neighborhood stock with modernization upside
- Above-metro neighborhood occupancy supports rent roll stability and leasing velocity
- 3-mile radius shows substantial renter base and rising household counts, broadening demand
- Elevated ownership costs in the county reinforce reliance on rental housing and pricing power
- Risks: below-median safety metrics and uneven amenity mix require proactive management
