On the market for the first time in nearly 40 years, this 16-unit apartment community on Walnut Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-establishedresidential asset in one of Northern Los Angeles County's fastest-growing and most well-planned communities. The property was built and owned by the same familysince its development in 1985, and is now being offered by the original owner's children. Long-term family stewardship of this kind is increasingly rare in today'smultifamily market, and the result is exactly what an experienced investor would hope to find: an asset with a stable operational history, an established tenant base, and rents that have drifted meaningfully below what the market will bear. The property sits on a 0.55-acre site totaling 15,656 rentable square feet, with a unit mix weighted toward spacious one- and two-bedroom floor plans that average979 square feet well above the typical workforce apartment in this submarket. In-place rents trail current market rates by a meaningful margin across the majorityof the unit mix, and the path to stabilized performance is driven entirely by natural rent normalization as tenancy turns over under new ownership. Located approximately 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles along the I-5 and SR-14 corridors with convenient access to employment centers in Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and surrounding counties Santa Clarita is known for its family-friendly neighborhoods, expansive open spaces, and strong local economy. One of the largest and most dynamic cities in Southern California, it offers a suburban lifestyle with modern amenities while maintaining close ties to the greaterLos Angeles area. The city is home to a wide range of parks, trails, and recreational facilities, including the extensive Santa Clarita Trail System, as well as majorregional attractions like Six Flags Magic Mountain. Seasonal festivals, farmers markets, and a strong tradition of civic engagement give Santa Clarita a welcoming, community-oriented identity that continues to attract long-term residents and new arrivals alike. Walnut Street sits at the center of this established residential fabric a corridor that has supported stable occupancy at this property for four decades.

Vista Valencia, located between McBean Parkway and Interstate 5, is a residential and hillside Santa Clarita neighborhood with terraced streets and golf-course greens. The neighborhood reads as late-20th-century Southern California: stucco townhomes, tiled roofs, and planned pockets of cul-de-sacs stepping up from the valley floor. The character concentrates around the Valencia Town Center Drive and Magic Mountain Parkway corridor, where patios, storefronts, and steady foot traffic frame the daily rhythm. Local pillars include The Cube – Ice and Entertainment Center, the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons, and MB2 Entertainment. Paseos and bike paths stitch blocks to parks and shopping without breaking the quiet street grid. Views open toward the Santa Susana Mountains, with trailheads and open space close by.
