We are pleased to 1403 Carleton, a value-add 6-unit property in Southwest Berkeley, with close proximity to Emeryville and North Oakland. The property consists of four 1-bedroom, a studio and two-bedroom unit with approvals and permits ready for two additional ADU's, with a seismic retrofit required. By implementing a RUBS program, the property performs at lower operating costs as the residents pay a portion of the utilities. Located in Berkeley's Poet's corner district, 1403 Carleton is situated on a quiet street lined with residential homes. Tenants can enjoy the large variety of shops and restaurants including being only a few minutes from Berkeley Bowl West. Longfellow Middle School and San Pablo Park are also within steps from the property. The property is also located near public transportation with Ashby BART situated a few blocks away and I-580 on the other side of San Pablo Avenue. With a walk score of 83 and a bike score of 90 "Biker's Paradise", this location will continue to attract demand from tenants.
