7926 Foothill Blvd Sunland Multifamily — 1987 Vintage, LA-Adjacent
Positioned in an inner-suburb pocket of Los Angeles County, the property benefits from a growing 3-mile renter pool and elevated home values that help sustain multifamily demand, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data.
Located in Sunland within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro, this inner-suburb neighborhood shows balanced demand fundamentals for workforce-oriented rentals. Neighborhood restaurants and cafes are comparatively dense (national percentiles in the upper range), while everyday retail like groceries and pharmacies is thinner within the immediate area, indicating convenience is strongest for dining and services rather than full daily needs.
Schools in the area trend modestly above national norms (average rating around the 61st percentile nationwide), which can support family retention. The property’s 1987 construction is newer than the neighborhood’s average 1972 vintage, suggesting relative competitiveness versus older stock, though investors should still plan for modernization of systems and unit finishes to meet today’s renter preferences.
Tenure patterns signal a meaningful renter base: at the neighborhood level, renter concentration is present, and within a 3-mile radius the share of renter-occupied housing units is expected to rise alongside a projected increase in households. These 3-mile demographic statistics point to population growth and a sizable increase in households over the next five years, expanding the local tenant base and helping support occupancy stability for smaller-format units.
Ownership costs are high for the neighborhood by national comparison (home values sit in a very high national percentile), which typically reinforces renter reliance on multifamily housing and supports lease retention and pricing power. At the same time, neighborhood occupancy levels rank below the national median, so underwriting should focus on operational execution and product differentiation. Notably, NOI per unit performance benchmarks show the area compares well nationally, indicating potential to capture solid operations with the right renovations and management, based on CRE market data from WDSuite.
Safety indicators compare favorably at a national level, with the neighborhood landing in the top quartile nationally for overall safety. Recent trends also point to improvement, with estimated violent and property offense rates declining sharply year over year. These metrics indicate competitive positioning among Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods, though investors should evaluate property-level security and lighting as part of standard due diligence.
Nearby employers span media, entertainment, and communications, supporting a diverse commuter tenant base and lease retention potential. Key demand drivers in proximity include Charter Communications, Disney, Avery Dennison, Radio Disney, and Live Nation Entertainment.
- Charter Communications — telecommunications (4.7 miles)
- Disney — entertainment & media (7.1 miles) — HQ
- Avery Dennison — materials & packaging (7.6 miles) — HQ
- Radio Disney — media (7.6 miles)
- Live Nation Entertainment — entertainment (11.1 miles)
This 41-unit asset skewing to efficient floor plans (average unit size near 543 sq. ft.) aligns with workforce demand profiles in Sunland. The 1987 vintage is newer than the neighborhood average, offering a platform for targeted renovations to drive rent premiums and operational durability relative to older nearby stock. Within a 3-mile radius, projections show population growth and a large increase in households over the next five years, pointing to renter pool expansion and support for occupancy stability.
Neighborhood fundamentals present a balanced risk-reward. Elevated home values by national comparison reinforce sustained rental demand and potential pricing power, while dining and service amenities are stronger than full-service daily retail in the immediate area. Neighborhood occupancy trends sit below national medians, so execution and product quality matter; however, according to CRE market data from WDSuite, the area’s NOI per unit benchmarks are competitive nationally, suggesting well-executed value-add can perform.
- 1987 construction offers renovation and repositioning potential versus older local stock
- Expanding 3-mile renter base with projected household growth supports leasing and retention
- High ownership costs locally reinforce reliance on rentals and support pricing power
- Competitive NOI per unit benchmarks in the neighborhood, per WDSuite data
- Risks: below-median neighborhood occupancy and thinner grocery/park access require strong operations
