About this home

We found 3 Cons,5 Pros. Rank: price - $3.50M(94th), sqft - 0(2th), beds - undefined(2th), baths - undefined(2th).

Positioned as one of the rarest available development sites in Los Angeles, this riverfront opportunity, located on the East Side's ever-popular Frogtown neighborhood, is ready for its next chapter. Currently, an uninhabitable single-family home and a paved parking lot stand, but visionaries will see an array of future possibilities. Comprised of two parcels totaling over 9,000 Sqft, the expansive lot offers nearly 115 feet of riverfront & bike path frontage - one of the largest in the neighborhood. With one parcel zoned "Residential" and the other zoned "Commercial Manufacturing", this opportunity allows a new owner/developer to take advantage of this truly scarce multiple-use zoning within the city. Most exclusively, the zoning allows for multiple permitted "Live/Work" structures, one of the rarest permitted structures in all of Los Angeles. Other "By Right" zoning approvals include amusement enterprises, art or antique shops, auditorium/concert venues, bakery goods shops, studios, restaurants and more (Buyer to verify with city). The Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan (LARRMP) calls for future revitalization connecting more people to future trails and parks along the river, further improving walkability and sense of community. This opportunity also sits in between neighboring Frogtown staples Spoke & Lingua Franca, and close proximity to Lewis MacAdams River Front Park (formerly Marsh Park), and Frogtown Brewery. An opportunity of a lifetime to create your riverfront vision.

The MLS description explicitly states the single-family home is 'uninhabitable.' The images confirm this, showing severe interior damage including a collapsed ceiling, debris, and extremely worn surfaces. The property was built in 1928 (over 50 years ago) and shows no evidence of major renovations, instead presenting as a development site where the value is in the land and its potential for redevelopment. There are no visible kitchens or bathrooms, but given the overall condition, they would undoubtedly be beyond repair and require complete demolition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Development Opportunity: Positioned as one of Los Angeles' rarest development sites, offering vast future possibilities due to its unique dual-parcel, mixed-use zoning (Residential & Commercial Manufacturing) allowing for scarce Live/Work structures and diverse commercial enterprises.
Prime Riverfront Location & Frontage: Boasts nearly 115 feet of riverfront and bike path frontage, one of the largest in the neighborhood, providing direct access and scenic value.
Strategic Frogtown Neighborhood: Located in the popular Frogtown area, offering proximity to established local amenities like Spoke, Lingua Franca, Lewis MacAdams River Front Park, and Frogtown Brewery, enhancing walkability and community appeal.
Substantial Lot Size: Comprised of two parcels totaling over 9,000 Sqft, providing ample space for ambitious and versatile development projects.
Future Growth & Investment Potential: Benefits significantly from the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan (LARRMP), promising future infrastructure improvements, trails, and parks, ensuring long-term appreciation and community integration.

Cons

Uninhabitable Existing Structure: The current single-family home is uninhabitable, necessitating demolition or extensive renovation, adding immediate costs and project complexity.
High Development Costs & Project Scope: This is a raw development site requiring substantial capital investment beyond the purchase price for demolition, design, permitting, and construction, appealing only to specific visionary developers.
Extensive Buyer Due Diligence Required: Prospective buyers must undertake thorough verification of all zoning approvals and permitted uses with the city, which can be a time-consuming and complex process.
