Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1923, this property has undergone extensive recent renovations, including remodeled kitchens and bathrooms with new quartz/granite countertops, refurbished hardwood flooring, new wood plank vinyl flooring, 44 new windows installed in 2021, new fixtures, and fresh paint. The images confirm a clean, updated interior with modern finishes in key areas like the kitchen. While the kitchen cabinets appear to be original style but refurbished, and cooling is via window units, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' rating criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Strategic Location & Transit Access: Situated in a fast-growing Opportunity Zone, walking distance to key amenities (beach, pier, dining, retail) and just 200 ft from a Metro A line station, offering excellent connectivity and future development potential.
Significant Value-Add Opportunities: Potential for ADU conversion of four garages, ability to double bedroom count within the existing square footage, and proven income growth through furnished units (e.g., AirBnB Apt. #6).
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Comprehensive interior and exterior renovations, including remodeled kitchens/bathrooms, new windows (2021), flooring, landscaping, and common areas, presenting a 'turnkey' asset.
No Citywide Rent Control: Provides investors with 'countless flexibility' in rental pricing and management, a distinct advantage in the Long Beach market.
Historic Architectural Appeal & Spacious Units: A charming 1920s building with classic architectural details and generously sized units (oversized studios, large 1-bedrooms) that stand out from typical downtown apartments.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: Despite recent renovations, the 1923 construction year means the property's underlying systems and structure are over a century old, potentially leading to higher long-term maintenance costs or unexpected issues.
Urban Environment Drawbacks: Located in a dense downtown area near a metro station, the property may be subject to higher levels of noise, traffic, and urban activity, which could be a deterrent for some tenants.
Parking Adequacy (Unspecified): While four garages are mentioned for ADU potential, the description doesn't clarify the current parking provisions for all 8 units, which could be a challenge in a high-density urban setting.
