1250 E La Palma Ave Anaheim Multifamily Investment
Neighborhood occupancy remains competitive among Anaheim–Santa Ana–Irvine submarkets, supporting stable leasing and retention according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. This location’s renter demand is reinforced by strong local amenities and a high-cost ownership market.
Located in Anaheim’s Urban Core, the neighborhood scores a B rating and sits above the metro median (ranked 225 of 516) for overall fundamentals. Amenity access is a clear strength—cafes, groceries, restaurants, parks, and pharmacies place the area in the top quartile nationally, which supports both leasing velocity and resident retention for multifamily assets.
Renter demand is deep: a majority of housing units are renter-occupied at the neighborhood level, which helps sustain a broad tenant base and supports occupancy stability. Neighborhood occupancy is competitive among Anaheim–Santa Ana–Irvine neighborhoods and sits in the top quartile nationally, a constructive signal for investors focused on cash flow durability.
Within a 3-mile radius, households have grown in recent years and are projected to continue rising, while average household size trends lower. This combination points to a gradually expanding renter pool, which can support steady absorption and reduce downtime between turns. Median contract rents at the neighborhood level are elevated versus national norms, and the value-to-income environment indicates a high-cost ownership market—factors that tend to reinforce reliance on rental housing and can aid pricing power when managed carefully.
School ratings in the neighborhood trail regional leaders, which may influence tenant mix and marketing strategy. The property’s 1984 vintage is newer than the neighborhood’s average construction year, suggesting relative competitive positioning versus older stock; investors should still plan for selective modernization to capture value-add upside and support rent growth.
Safety signals are mixed compared with national benchmarks. Overall crime levels trend around the national middle, with property offenses near the national midpoint and violent offense measures below the national median. Notably, recent year-over-year trends point to improvement, with both violent and property incidents easing. Within the Anaheim–Santa Ana–Irvine metro (516 neighborhoods), the area performs close to the metro average; investors should underwrite prudent security, lighting, and operations policies and monitor trendlines rather than block-level variation.
Proximity to diverse corporate employers underpins workforce housing demand and supports retention through commute convenience. Key nearby employers include United Technologies, International Paper, Xerox, LKQ, and First American Financial.

This 48-unit 1984-vintage asset benefits from a neighborhood with competitive occupancy and strong amenity density—factors that support leasing stability and resident retention. A majority renter-occupied housing base indicates depth of demand, while elevated home values in the area reinforce reliance on multifamily. According to commercial real estate analysis from WDSuite, the neighborhood’s rent levels are above national norms but supported by a large tenant base, suggesting potential for steady cash flows with disciplined lease management.
Demographic data within a 3-mile radius show household growth alongside smaller household sizes, pointing to a gradually expanding renter pool over time. Relative to older local stock, the property’s vintage positions it competitively, with targeted renovations offering value-add upside without the full capital burden of substantially older assets. Risks to monitor include modest school performance and mixed safety signals; these are manageable with focused operations, asset repositioning, and amenity-driven retention strategies.
