We are pleased to present 1019 American Place, a rare duplex investment opportunity located in the highly desirable Westside Costa Mesa submarket. The property consists of two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, offering an attractive layout for tenants and strong rental appeal in a supply-constrained coastal market. Situated in one of Orange County's most sought-after rental locations, the asset benefits from immediate proximity to Newport Beach, major employment hubs, and premier retail corridors, making it an ideal option for both investors and occupants alike. Constructed in 1962, the property features classic mid-century construction with a proven track record of rental durability. The asset presents a compelling opportunity for a new owner to implement a strategic renovation program to modernize interiors and enhance overall curb appeal, allowing for increased rental income and long-term appreciation. Costa Mesa continues to demonstrate strong rental fundamentals driven by its coastal accessibility, connectivity to major freeways, and diverse employment base. These factors have supported consistent tenant demand and position the asset for stable cash flow with future upside. Offered for the first time in over five decades, the property has been under the same ownership since 1970, underscoring the long-term stability and desirability of the location. Additionally, the Westside Costa Mesa submarket is characterized by low transaction velocity, with limited inventory and infrequent sales, creating a unique opportunity for investors to acquire a tightly held asset in a premier coastal market. For more information, please reach out.
