3526 Farmdale Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90016
About This Home
Located in the burgeoning Baldwin Hills area, 3526 Farmdale Avenue is a well-maintained triplex that presents a practical opportunity for either an owner-occupant or a long-term investor. This property sits in a steady and evolving pocket of the 90016 zip code, featuring two 2-bedroom units and one 1-bedroom unit. Each residence has been thoughtfully cared for with selective upgrades and classic details such as original hardwood floors. Outside, residents can enjoy a large, enclosed backyard shaded by mature lemon and avocado trees. The property is especially attractive for those looking to move in immediately or achieve market-rate rents, as the owner will deliver one 2-bedroom unit vacant. Beyond the home itself, the location is defined by significant local investment and infrastructure. Commuters are just a one-minute walk from the Farmdale Metro Station, offering a quick ten-minute ride to Downtown LA or a straight shot to Santa Monica. The surrounding neighborhood is rich in culture and growth, situated near the Black Cultural District and within walking distance of the renowned Lula Washington and Debbie Allen schools of dance. This area is also seeing transformative projects like the redevelopment of the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza into a multi-phase retail and residential hub, as well as the upcoming Stocker Street Creative film campus. For weekend recreation, the nearby Leimert Park Plaza remains a local staple for vibrant markets and community events.
