14410 Cerise Ave Hawthorne 22-Unit Multifamily
Neighborhood occupancy trends are in the mid-90s, supporting stable cash flow potential according to WDSuite’s CRE market data for the area. Strong renter demand in this Urban Core pocket of Hawthorne is reinforced by high renter-occupied share at the neighborhood level, not the property.
Located in Hawthorne within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro, the neighborhood posts a B+ rating and performs above the metro median on several renter-relevant fundamentals. Amenity access is a relative strength: the area ranks 254 out of 1,441 metro neighborhoods for overall amenities and sits in the top quartile nationally, with grocery, cafes, restaurants, pharmacies, and childcare densities testing in higher national percentiles. Limited park access is a known gap, so day-to-day conveniences rather than green space are the primary lifestyle draw.
At the neighborhood level, 84.9% of housing units are renter-occupied (99th percentile nationally), indicating a deep tenant base and consistent leasing velocity for multifamily assets. Neighborhood occupancy is around the mid-90s, supporting pricing power and retention. Median home values are elevated relative to incomes (high national percentile value-to-income ratio), a high-cost ownership context that tends to sustain reliance on rental housing and can bolster lease-up resilience.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographic data show a large population base with modest recent softness but a projected return to growth by 2028 alongside a sizable increase in households and a slight reduction in average household size. For investors, that combination points to a larger renter pool and diversified demand across unit types, which can support occupancy stability and renewal rates.
The property s 1986 vintage is newer than the neighborhood s average construction year of 1976. That positioning can be competitive versus older stock, while still warranting prudent capital planning for systems modernization or value-add upgrades to capture rent premiums consistent with surrounding Urban Core assets.
School ratings in the surrounding area trend below national norms and the rent-to-income ratio at the neighborhood level indicates some affordability pressure. From an investor perspective, this argues for attentive lease management and amenity-driven differentiation rather than outsized rent pushes. Even so, the neighborhood s amenity access and renter concentration remain supportive of steady multifamily demand, based on CRE market data from WDSuite.
Safety signals are mixed but improving. The neighborhood s safety profile is stronger than many areas nationally (crime measures sit above the national median), and recent data show a notable year-over-year decline in violent offense estimates, which places the area in a high national percentile for improvement. Within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro, overall crime levels are near the metro median among 1,441 neighborhoods, indicating neither an outlier risk nor a top-tier safe enclave.
Property offense estimates trend better than the national median as well, and the recent downward movement in violent offenses supports investor confidence in long-term livability. As with any Urban Core location, prudent on-site management and lighting/security upgrades can help sustain tenant retention and perception of safety over time.
Proximity to diversified corporate employment underpins renter demand and commute convenience for workforce-oriented tenants. Nearby employers include Mattel, Southwest Airlines, Symantec, Microsoft, and Air Products & Chemicals, supporting steady leasing fundamentals in this submarket.

This 22-unit property at 14410 Cerise Ave benefits from a renter-heavy neighborhood, amenity convenience, and occupancy trends in the mid-90s. Elevated ownership costs locally and strong national-percentile amenity access contribute to durable multifamily demand and support rent optimization over time. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, the area s renter-occupied share is among the highest nationally, which typically deepens the tenant base and underpins leasing stability.
Built in 1986, the asset is newer than the neighborhood s average stock, offering competitive positioning versus older buildings while leaving room for targeted modernization and value-add upgrades. Within a 3-mile radius, forecasts point to household growth and a slightly smaller average household size by 2028, a setup that expands the renter pool and supports occupancy and renewal strategies. Key considerations include modest school scores, limited park access, and signs of rent-to-income pressure factors best managed through disciplined lease management, amenity enhancements, and unit finishes that justify rent levels without overextending residents.
- Deep renter base and mid-90s neighborhood occupancy support leasing stability
- 1986 vintage offers competitive positioning with value-add modernization potential
- High-cost ownership context reinforces sustained rental demand and pricing power
- Amenity-rich Urban Core location aids retention despite limited park access
- Risks: below-average school ratings and affordability pressure require careful lease management
