    Property Overview

    The Crest Apartments presents a unique investment opportunity in the heart of Hawthorne, CA. This 25-unit multifamily community, originally developed in 1966 by the current owners, is now available for the first time. The property is attractively priced at a 6.46% Cap Rate, 9.47 GRM, and $211,800 per unit, offering strong sales metrics and clear upside potential in one of the South Bay's most dynamic rental markets. The unit mix includes three studios, twenty one-bedroom/one-bath units, one two-bedroom/one-bath unit, and one two-bedroom/two-bath unit (including one non-conforming). Residents benefit from on-site amenities such as landlord-owned laundry machines, a central courtyard with a pool, gated parking for 29 vehicles, secured entry, and a security camera system. The building is master-metered, with potential for additional income growth through the implementation of a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) to allocate utility costs to tenants. Recent capital improvements enhance the property's appeal, including a major drain line replacement in 2022, supply line replacements, newer Siemens sub-panels, and completed SB 721 balcony inspections and repairs in 2025. The property is subject to statewide rent control under AB 1482, with eligible units receiving rent increases in October 2025. Its central location west of Prairie Avenue provides convenient access to Hawthorne Middle School, Washington Elementary, SpaceX, Hawthorne Airport, and major freeways, making The Crest Apartments a well-maintained, stable investment with robust fundamentals.
