Sitting on 1.56 acres the property is centrally located in the entertainment hub of California with access to major highways and convenient shopping. The property was modestly renovated with an exterior paint job and new landscaping several years prior to the acquisition. However, the appearance remained outdated, failing to attract the market rents that the undersupplied market dictated. The property was upgraded with new pool and fitness center. Additionally, the unit interiors were renovated with new cabinet faces, countertop and modern finishes.
