Investment Highlights

Property Overview

Nestled in the heart of West Los Angeles, 1749 S Bentley Ave presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained 7-unit apartment building offering both strong current income and long-term upside. Built in 1986, the property spans 7,674 square feet on a 6,240 square foot lot and is not subject to the LA Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), allowing for 5% + CPI annual rent increases (currently 8%). All seven units are spacious 2-bedroom/2-bathroom layouts averaging approximately 1,096 square feet and feature bright, open floor plans ideal for today's renters. One of the units is a townhouse layout, offering additional privacy. Select units include fireplaces, private balconies, central air conditioning and heat, upgraded kitchens with stainless steel appliances, renovated bathrooms, new flooring, and fresh paint. Residents enjoy on-site amenities such as a laundry facility, a secured entry with coded access, and gated parking with two spaces per unit. Additional upgrades include a newer roof (2019), new 100 gallon water heater with expansion tank (2024), and refinished common area flooring (2019). Each unit is separately metered for gas and electric. The property is well-positioned for flexibility and growth with two vacancies—one recently renovated unit is currently vacant and another unit will be delivered vacant at close of escrow—offering investors immediate market-rate leasing or owner-user potential. Located in an A+ West LA location, Bentley Ave sits just minutes from UCLA, Westwood Village, Century City, and Santa Monica, providing exceptional accessibility to major employment centers, shopping, dining, and transit.
