6125 Fulton Ave Van Nuys Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood fundamentals favor renter demand in this Van Nuys Urban Core pocket, where elevated ownership costs and stable occupancy support leasing durability, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data.
Rated A- and ranked 302 of 1,441 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods, this Urban Core location sits in the top quartile locally — a signal of balanced livability and investment appeal. Neighborhood occupancy is solid and has trended near the national upper tier, supporting income stability for well-managed assets.
Amenities are a relative strength: cafes and childcare density test in the national top decile, with restaurants and parks also above national averages. These concentrations typically correlate with resident retention and leasing velocity for workforce and young-professional renter cohorts.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics indicate a deep renter base (renter-occupied share is a majority), with households growing and average household size edging lower — dynamics that generally expand the tenant pool and support occupancy stability. Median contract rents in the area have grown over the past five years while remaining tethered to neighborhood incomes, suggesting continued but measured pricing power for operators.
Home values in the surrounding neighborhood sit at the high end for the region, and the value-to-income ratio is elevated by national standards. In investor terms, this high-cost ownership market sustains reliance on multifamily housing, bolstering demand depth even as residents evaluate trade-offs between space and location.
School ratings trend below national averages, which can modestly narrow the family-renter segment. Pharmacy access is thinner than other amenities locally. These are manageable considerations for leasing strategy given the broader amenity mix and employment access across the Valley and central LA.
Safety indicators compare favorably in national context. Overall crime and violent offense metrics land in the upper national percentiles, placing the area in the top quartile nationally for safety relative to neighborhoods across the country, based on WDSuite’s CRE market data.
Recent year-over-year estimates show notable declines in both property and violent offenses, a constructive trend for investor confidence. Within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro (1,441 neighborhoods), the neighborhood’s standing is competitive, though conditions can vary block to block — prudent operators should continue standard security and lighting measures as part of asset management.
Proximity to major media and corporate offices supports a diversified renter base and commute convenience. Key employers include Charter Communications, Radio Disney, Disney, and Live Nation Entertainment, which underpin steady demand for professionally managed multifamily units.

6125 Fulton Ave benefits from a demand profile anchored by a high-cost ownership market, solid neighborhood occupancy, and strong amenity density that supports retention. In the surrounding 3-mile radius, forecasts point to growth in households alongside smaller average household sizes, expanding the renter pool and reinforcing leasing stability. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood-level rents have advanced over the past five years while remaining connected to incomes, indicating room for disciplined, operations-led rent optimization.
Nationally competitive safety readings and proximity to prominent entertainment and corporate employers further support consistent tenant demand. While school ratings trend below average and pharmacy access is thinner, these factors can be managed through positioning and service quality. Operators should also monitor affordability pressure and macro sensitivity in Los Angeles, balancing pricing with retention to protect NOI.
