Rare opportunity to acquire a nearly 2-acre infill parcel on a quiet cul-de-sac street in an established residential neighborhood of Merced. The property currently includes an existing single-family home and offers significant potential for residential redevelopment. Preliminary development plans with 24 housing units, consisting of 6 duplex buildings (12 primary units) plus 12 detached ADUs, creating a compelling opportunity for a builder, developer, or investor seeking a higher-density residential project. The site features flat topography, nearby utilities, and an established residential setting, all of which may help support an efficient development plan. Its location provides convenient access to schools, shopping, major transportation routes, and other area amenities. With limited infill opportunities of this size available in established Merced neighborhoods, 1490 Cameron Lane offers a unique combination of existing improvements, development potential, and long-term residential value.
East Merced, located between Yosemite Avenue and G Street, is a residential and commercial Merced neighborhood with broad arterial boulevards and a campus-adjacent feel. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Yosemite Avenue and G Street corridor, where taquerias, boba counters, small groceries, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks active. Housing ranges from mid-century ranch homes to newer subdivisions with wide driveways and tidy front yards. Tree-lined pockets break up the grid, while shopping centers and service plazas shape daily routines. Community touchstones include the Merced Multicultural Arts Center, the Merced County Courthouse Museum, and the Merced Theatre downtown.
