1657 Huntington Dr Duarte Inner-Suburb Multifamily Investment
According to WDSuite’s CRE market data, neighborhood occupancy is in the mid‑90s, pointing to durable renter demand for stabilized operations. The property’s inner-suburb setting supports steady leasing fundamentals without relying on downtown exposure.
Located in Duarte within the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Glendale metro, the neighborhood rates competitive among 1,441 metro neighborhoods and lands in the top quartile nationally for overall amenities, according to WDSuite. Dense access to groceries, parks, cafes, and restaurants supports livability and day‑to‑day convenience that helps reduce turnover and sustain demand.
Neighborhood occupancy (measured for the neighborhood, not this property) is in the top quartile nationally, and the share of renter‑occupied housing units is elevated for the area. For multifamily investors, that combination signals a deep tenant base and tends to support leasing stability over the cycle.
Schools in the area trend above national norms (top quartile nationally), a factor that can bolster retention for family‑oriented renters. Relative to the metro, amenity density is competitive, giving properties here a convenience edge versus many Los Angeles inner‑suburb peers.
Within a 3‑mile radius, WDSuite data show strong household incomes with recent gains and a projected increase in households alongside a slight reduction in average household size. For investors, that points to a larger, more income‑qualified renter pool over time, supporting rent growth and occupancy management. Median home values in the neighborhood are elevated versus national benchmarks, which reinforces multifamily demand as renters weigh more accessible monthly housing costs; this context is helpful for multifamily property research but should be paired with active lease management where rent‑to‑income pressures emerge.
Safety indicators are mixed versus national benchmarks. Neighborhood crime measures (for the neighborhood, not the property) sit around middle-of-the-pack nationally, with property and violent offense rates below the national median safety percentile. However, recent year‑over‑year trends point to improvement, with both property and violent offense rates showing declines according to WDSuite.
In practical terms, investors should underwrite prudent security and operational best practices typical for inner‑suburban Los Angeles assets while recognizing the improving trajectory. Comparative performance versus nearby submarkets and current ownership’s operating protocols will be key diligence items.
The surrounding employment base mixes energy, utilities, logistics, and manufacturing offices, supporting commute convenience and a diversified renter pipeline anchored by Chevron, Edison International, International Paper, Ryder, and LKQ.

Built in 1989, the asset is newer than the surrounding neighborhood’s average vintage, offering competitive positioning versus older stock while leaving room for targeted modernization of interiors and building systems. Neighborhood occupancy is strong and renter concentration is elevated, indicating a deep tenant base and supporting steady lease‑up and retention. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, elevated home values in the area sustain reliance on rental housing, which can underpin pricing power when paired with sound lease management.
Within a 3‑mile radius, demographics point to rising household incomes and a projected increase in households alongside smaller average household sizes, expanding the renter pool over time. Forward rent trajectories are expected to trend upward locally, while the property’s inner‑suburb location provides access to diverse employment nodes that can stabilize demand through cycles. Key underwriting items include affordability pressure management and ongoing attention to operating efficiency.
- Newer 1989 vintage versus neighborhood average, with clear modernization and value‑add pathways
- Top‑quartile neighborhood occupancy and elevated renter‑occupied share support leasing stability
- Inner‑suburb location with access to diversified employment nodes supports retention and lease‑up
- Risk: monitor affordability pressures and maintain security best practices given mixed safety benchmarks
