Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1895, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but features a dated kitchen with honey oak cabinets and older white appliances, suggesting a renovation approximately 15-30 years ago. While some areas benefit from fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, and modern light fixtures, these are partial updates. The description notes 'some units have been tastefully updated,' indicating potential inconsistency across the fourplex. The property is functional but requires minor updates, especially in the kitchen, to meet contemporary standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment Opportunity: This fourplex offers a versatile unit mix (two 1-bedroom/1-bath and two 2-bedroom/1-bath units), providing a strong foundation for steady rental income and appealing to investors.
Prime Location & Commuter Access: Ideally situated just blocks from the Fruitvale BART Station, the property boasts unbeatable commuter access, a significant advantage in the Oakland market.
Neighborhood Amenities: Residents benefit from being moments away from the vibrant shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions along Fruitvale Avenue and International Boulevard, enhancing tenant desirability.
Valuable Parking: The inclusion of on-site parking and garage space is a highly sought-after amenity in this bustling urban neighborhood, adding significant value for tenants.
Tenant-Friendly Features: All units are individually metered for gas, reducing landlord utility burdens, and some units have been tastefully updated, attracting quality tenants.
Cons
Property Age & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1895, the property's considerable age suggests potential for significant deferred maintenance, outdated core systems (plumbing, electrical), and higher ongoing repair costs, despite some unit updates.
Inconsistent Unit Updates: The description notes 'some units have been tastefully updated,' implying that not all units are modernized, which may require additional capital expenditure to bring all units to a consistent, high standard for maximum rental income.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: Several nearby public schools have low ratings, which could be a deterrent for prospective tenants with families and potentially impact long-term property value appreciation in the immediate vicinity.
