Executive Summary
Located in a highly sought-after pocket of Los Angeles’s Westside, 1525 Armacost Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained 9-unit apartment community in one of the most desirable rental markets in Southern California. A quintessential value-add opportunity offered for the first time in over 20 years, this asset combines classic mid-century character with strong in-place income and meaningful upside potential.
Built in 1963, this boutique property features an attractive unit mix consisting of one (1) studio, six (6) one-bedroom/one-bath units, and two (2) spacious two-bedroom/two-bath units—appealing to a broad tenant base ranging from young professionals to small families. The building showcases classic mid-century architecture and benefits from ample on-site parking, a secured intercom entry system, and a convenient on-site laundry facility.

With convenient access to the I-10 and I-405 freeways, tenants enjoy connectivity to the greater Los Angeles area while still benefiting from a quiet, residential setting.
The property offers significant rental upside, presenting investors with the opportunity to reposition units over time and capture substantial increases in income in a supply-constrained submarket.
