Property Detail

Description

We are pleased to present 1237 W 25th Street, a 19-bed student housing investment opportunity located immediately north of the USC campus, within the USC Department of Public Safety (DPS) 24-hour patrol zone. The property totals approximately 6,500 rentable square feet across two separate structures, offering a diverse unit mix designed to accommodate both individual students leasing by the bed and larger groups seeking shared living arrangements. The property consists of four units across two structures: a 4-bedroom/3-bath and a studio in the front building, and two 7-bedroom/6-bath townhouse-style residences in the rear. Unit sizes range from a self-contained studio to expansive 7-bedroom layouts, accommodating a broad spectrum of student housing needs from individual renters seeking affordability to large groups looking for shared community living. Each unit is fully furnished with in-unit laundry, large kitchens, and oversized common spaces, creating strong, consistent tenant appeal across the entire property.Offered at a 6.14% cap rate and a 10.01 GIM, this asset provides a stronger yield compared to many conventional multifamily properties currently trading at lower cap rates. The property is less than a mile from USC Village and just north of the Expo/Vermont Metro Station, providing direct access to Downtown Los Angeles, Mid-City, and the Westside.Remodeled in 2023, the front structure underwent a full to-the-studs reconstruction with a brand-new foundation, framing, and roofing system. Interiors feature modern finishes including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, tiled showers with glass enclosures, new flooring, and in-unit washers and dryers. The rear structure is a ground-up new construction, also completed in 2023, mirroring these high-end finishes throughout creating a cohesive, low-maintenance asset with strong tenant appeal. USC enrolls over 46,000 students, with approximately 65% living off campus, creating a deep pool of rental demand. The university continues to climb in national rankings and received a record 83,488 freshman applications for Fall 2025. Student housing near USC benefits from structurally resilient demand supported by consistent enrollment, predictable lease cycles, and a tenant base less correlated with traditional economic drivers. Beyond its strong in-place cash flow, the property provides investors with compelling tax advantages. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, multifamily assets may qualify for 100% bonus depreciation, offering the potential to materially shelter income in the early years of ownership.
