14025 Chadron Ave, Hawthorne Multifamily Investment
Renter-occupied housing is prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood, supporting a stable tenant base and steady occupancy, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Strong local amenities and a high-cost ownership market further reinforce multifamily demand.
The property sits in Hawthorne within Los Angeles County in an Urban Core neighborhood rated B+. It is competitive among Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods (ranked 510 out of 1,441), suggesting fundamentals that compare favorably to many peer areas without relying on trophy submarket dynamics.
Daily-life amenities are a local strength: grocery access ranks in the top percentile nationally, with cafes, restaurants, childcare, and pharmacies all in the upper deciles. This density supports renter convenience and leasing stickiness, though the immediate area has limited park space, which may matter for outdoor-oriented residents.
Neighborhood multifamily occupancy is solid and sits in the upper tier nationally, helping underpin income stability for operators. The neighborhood 's share of renter-occupied housing units is very high (rank 23 of 1,441 metro neighborhoods), indicating deep tenant demand for apartments and consistent leasing velocity. School quality trends below national averages, which can influence family-driven demand but does not typically derail workforce and young-professional rental demand in this part of the metro.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics show recent softness in population counts but a projected return to growth alongside a notable increase in the number of households and smaller average household sizes over the next five years. That combination generally expands the renter pool and supports occupancy. Elevated home values relative to incomes in the neighborhood sustain reliance on rental housing, which can aid pricing power and retention for well-managed assets.
Crime conditions in the area are better than the national median (64th percentile for safety compared to neighborhoods nationwide). Recent data also show year-over-year declines in both property and violent incidents, according to CRE market data from WDSuite, which is a constructive trend for resident retention and asset perception. Neighborhood-level readings can fluctuate, so investors should underwrite with standard security and lighting improvements where appropriate.
Proximity to major employers supports a broad workforce renter base and commute convenience, led by Mattel, Southwest Airlines, Symantec, Microsoft, and Air Products & Chemicals.

- Southwest Airlines Counter airline operations (5.1 miles)
- Symantec cybersecurity (6.7 miles)
- Microsoft Offices The Reserves software (7.5 miles)
- Air Products & Chemicals industrial gases (8.4 miles)
Built in 1985, the 24-unit asset is newer than much of the surrounding housing stock, positioning it competitively versus older product while still offering potential value-add through selective modernization of interiors and common areas as systems age. High renter concentration in the neighborhood and upper-tier occupancy, per WDSuite s commercial real estate analysis, point to a durable tenant base and steady cash flow potential for well-managed operations.
Local fundamentals are reinforced by strong amenity density and an ownership market characterized by elevated home values relative to incomes, which sustains rental demand. Within a 3-mile radius, forecasts indicate modest population growth, a meaningful increase in households, and smaller household sizes over the next five years all of which typically expand the renter pool and support occupancy stability. Investors should also account for rent-to-income pressures in underwriting and the area s limited park access and below-average school ratings when targeting renter profiles and amenities.
