About this home
445 E. 3rd Street is a 22-unit multifamily asset located in Long Beach’s East Village Arts District, a dense, walkable submarket within Downtown that continues to attract a steady base of renters driven by proximity to employment, transit, and lifestyle amenities. The property consists of (14) studio units and (8) 1BD/1BA, providing an efficient unit mix aligned with prevailing demand in the area. The seller has invested approximately $530,000 in capital improvements, including interior common areas (hallways, stairwells, keypads), unit interior renovations, new turf and landscaping on exteriors. All unit interiors are completely renovated with designer fixtures and finishes. Approximately $18,200 has been invested per studio unit renovation and ~$19,200 invested per 1BD/1BA renovation. 445 E. 3rd Street is priced at a 5.84% cap rate and 10.10 GRM in place, with clear embedded upside. As rents move to market and RUBS is implemented, the property stabilizes at a 6.82% cap rate and 9.12 GRM—a 98-basis-point expansion in yield and nearly a full point of GRM compression. That equates to $41,075 of additional annual NOI, a 16% increase in cash flow at no change in basis.
East Village, located between Downtown Long Beach and Alamitos Beach, is a historic and artsy Long Beach neighborhood with early-20th-century storefronts and a walkable street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Linden Avenue and 1st Street, where galleries, coffee counters, record bins, and small restaurants keep the sidewalks active. Retro Row’s independent stretch adds a design-forward edge, with vintage shops and neon-era facades. The Art Theatre of Long Beach anchors local film culture, while Fingerprints Music draws crate-diggers and in-store sets. Craftsman bungalows and compact apartment buildings sit behind palm-lined blocks, giving daily life a close-to-the-street feel. Pocket parks and the nearby shoreline path round out the routine with open-air breaks.
