West Adams Studio Apartments 4905 W Adams Blvd 36 Unit Apartment Building £3,934,560 (£109,293/Unit) 7.65% Net Initial Yield Los Angeles, CA 90016

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present 4905 West Adams Boulevard, a thirty-six-unit multifamily investment opportunity located in the heart of the rapidly evolving West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles. This stabilized asset offers an investor immediate cash flow in a high rental demand submarket, with an attractive unit mix of micro-units that cater to tenants seeking affordable and efficient housing. With strong in-place income, a historically low vacancy rate, and excellent long-term fundamentals, the property presents a compelling opportunity for both yield-focused and growth-oriented investors.
Originally constructed in 1964, the property consists of thirty-four bachelor units, one two-bedroom/one-bathroom unit, and one one-bedroom/one-bathroom unit. The property is master-metered for all utilities and features a central water heating system. Residents benefit from secure, gated access and twenty-three covered parking spaces.
In addition to its core income-generating features, 4905 West Adams offers significant development potential. Current ownership has completed preliminary schematic plans to add twenty ADUs under the existing ADU ordinances—comprising six studios, twelve one-bedroom units, and two two-bedroom units—providing a clear path to dramatically increase the unit count and income. The property is also in compliance with Los Angeles’ seismic retrofit requirements; the soft-story permit has been issued, and the retrofit must be completed by April 30, 2028. Furthermore, a permit has been approved to install built-in cooktops in all units, offering an immediate opportunity to enhance desirability and rental value.
Situated just two blocks from the nearest on- and off-ramps to the I-10 Freeway, the property provides excellent regional access to Downtown Los Angeles, Culver City, USC, and the Westside. West Adams has become one of LA’s most dynamic and gentrifying submarkets, with new multifamily and retail developments continuing to reshape the urban landscape. With high rental demand and a shortage of affordable housing options, 4905 West Adams is ideally positioned to deliver both near-term and long-term returns.
The property is subject to the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO).
