1031 Linden Ave, Glendale CA Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood occupancy is strong and supported by a deep renter base, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. The high-cost ownership landscape in Glendale sustains renter demand, favoring stable operations over a full cycle.
Located in Glendale’s Urban Core, the property benefits from a B+ neighborhood rating and a dense amenity base. Cafes and grocery options rank among the strongest in the metro (top tier relative to 1,441 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods), which helps with leasing velocity and day-to-day convenience for residents.
Neighborhood occupancy is elevated compared with national norms, and this figure is measured for the neighborhood, not the property. Within a 3-mile radius, approximately two-thirds of housing units are renter-occupied, indicating a sizeable tenant pool and depth for multifamily demand. Rents in the area have trended upward over the last five years, reinforcing the case for durable income if management stays disciplined on renewals and turns.
Demographic statistics aggregated within a 3-mile radius show relatively stable population levels alongside an increase in households and a modest reduction in average household size. For investors, that combination often translates into a larger tenant base over time and supports occupancy stability for professionally managed assets.
Ownership costs remain elevated locally compared with most U.S. neighborhoods, which tends to sustain reliance on rental housing and can support pricing power for well-maintained units. The 1980 construction is newer than the neighborhood’s average vintage (1961 across the metro peer set of 1,441 neighborhoods), positioning the asset as competitive versus older stock while still warranting selective system upgrades or light modernization to sharpen its standing against renovated comps.
Based on WDSuite’s data, the neighborhood benchmarks as somewhat safer than the national middle, with violent offense rates positioned in the higher safety tier nationally and property offense rates also comparatively favorable. These indicators are measured at the neighborhood level and should be viewed as part of broader due diligence rather than a block-level assessment.
Recent year-over-year readings indicate an uptick in property offenses, so investors may want to incorporate prudent security measures and leasing protocols. Overall, safety performance sits around the metro middle while comparing better versus many neighborhoods nationwide.
Proximity to major corporate offices anchors a diverse employment base that supports renter demand and retention, particularly for workforce and creative-sector tenants. Key nearby employers include Disney, Avery Dennison, Radio Disney, Charter Communications, and Live Nation Entertainment.

This 20‑unit, 1980‑vintage asset in Glendale’s Urban Core is positioned for durable renter demand supported by a deep tenant base and above-average neighborhood occupancy. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, the surrounding neighborhood’s high-cost ownership market tends to reinforce multifamily reliance, which can aid lease retention for quality units. The 1980 vintage is newer than much of the local stock, offering relative competitiveness while still leaving room for targeted updates to enhance rentability.
Within a 3‑mile radius, household growth and smaller household sizes point to a gradually expanding renter pool, supporting occupancy stability and consistent leasing. Amenity density is a local strength, and proximity to major employers broadens the potential tenant base. Key risks include affordability pressure management and monitoring of recent property offense trends at the neighborhood level.
