14005 Chadron Ave Hawthorne Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood occupancy trends and a high renter concentration suggest durable tenant demand in Hawthorne, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Metrics cited reflect neighborhood conditions, not the specific property.
Positioned in Hawthorne’s Urban Core, the neighborhood carries a B+ rating and sits above the metro median among 1,441 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods. For investors, that translates to steady fundamentals and a tenant base supported by everyday conveniences and commuting access across the South Bay corridor.
Amenity access is a relative strength. Grocery and restaurant density ranks in the top quartile nationally, and cafés are also strong, supporting daily-life convenience and leasing appeal. Pharmacy availability trends similarly favorable. Park access is limited, which may modestly temper lifestyle appeal for some renters, but proximity to retail and services can offset this for many workforce households.
Renter-occupied share is high at the neighborhood level, indicating depth in the tenant pool and reinforcing demand for smaller, well-managed multifamily assets. Neighborhood occupancy is in the low-to-mid 90s and above national medians, supporting income stability. Median contract rents sit above the U.S. norm while still tracking below the cost of ownership locally, a combination that supports leasing velocity though it requires disciplined renewal management.
Home values are elevated versus national benchmarks and the value-to-income ratio ranks among the higher percentiles nationwide, signaling a high-cost ownership market that tends to sustain renter reliance on multifamily housing. Average school ratings trail national medians, which can influence family tenant mix; however, amenity access and employment proximity remain notable demand drivers. Based on WDSuite’s commercial real estate analysis, NOI per unit for the neighborhood trends above national medians, consistent with higher-rent coastal metros.
Safety indicators for the area are mixed but improving. Compared with neighborhoods nationwide, overall conditions track above the national median for safety, and recent data shows year-over-year declines in both violent and property offenses, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro (1,441 neighborhoods), the area generally sits around the middle of the pack, reflecting typical urban dynamics rather than outlier risk.
For underwriting, this pattern suggests standard urban risk management—lighting, access control, and resident screening—while benefiting from recent downward trends in offense rates. Use property-level security and visibility strategies to support retention and leasing performance.
Nearby corporate anchors provide a diversified employment base that supports renter demand and commute convenience, including roles in entertainment, technology, aviation, and industrials. The list below highlights several notable employers within an approximately 3–11 mile radius.

14005 Chadron Ave is a 26-unit asset built in 1985. The vintage is slightly newer than the neighborhood’s average stock, giving it relative competitiveness versus older 1970s product while still warranting capital planning for aging systems and select modernization to drive rents and retention. The surrounding neighborhood posts above-median occupancy and a high share of renter-occupied housing units, indicating demand depth and support for income stability.
Elevated home values in this South Bay submarket reinforce reliance on rental housing, while amenity-rich, urban-core positioning bolsters leasing appeal. Demographic data aggregated within a 3-mile radius shows rising household incomes and a projected increase in households alongside smaller average household sizes—trends that can expand the renter pool and support occupancy. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood NOI per unit trends above national medians, though rent-to-income levels point to affordability pressure that calls for disciplined lease management.
- 1985 vintage offers competitive positioning versus older stock, with clear value-add and systems-upgrade pathways
- High renter-occupied share and above-median neighborhood occupancy support demand stability
- Elevated ownership costs locally sustain reliance on rentals, aiding pricing power and lease-up
- Amenity access and proximity to major employers underpin leasing appeal across workforce segments
- Risks: rent-to-income pressure, limited park access, and lower average school ratings warrant conservative underwriting and resident retention strategies
