2360 Ellsworth St sits one block from the UC Berkeley campus edge in South Berkeley, where demand is driven by enrollment. Seven units and twenty six beds, leased by the bed or by the unit, so ownership runs whichever strategy the market rewards. A 6.60% cap and 9.22 GRM going in at 100% bed occupancy, with rents nearly 10% below market. The kicker: the seller is willing to sign a master lease at $452,092 per year, lifting day one returns to a 7.22% cap and 6.76% cash-on-cash with zero leasing risk, and the owner still keeps $24,272 a year of parking and other income. Collect steady, hands-off income or step in and operate for the upside. The heavy lifting is done: $370,531 of capital invested since 2013, seismic retrofit complete, garage parking, common laundry, renovated quartz kitchens. Offered at $4,350,000, $167,308 per bed.

About
Southside
Southside, located between Downtown Berkeley and the UC Berkeley campus, is a student-oriented and walkable Berkeley neighborhood with a café-lined streetscape and classic apartment blocks. Telegraph Avenue at Bancroft Way concentrates the neighborhood’s character, where record shops, indie bookstores, boba counters, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks in motion. Architectural cues shift from early 20th-century walk-ups to mid-century courtyard buildings, with pockets of Craftsman homes on quieter blocks. Community pillars such as Moe’s Books, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, and the UC Theatre anchor the cultural calendar. Small courtyards, bike traffic, and campus-adjacent greens shape daily rhythms. Food counters and study-friendly coffee rooms set a practical, lived-in tone.
