1073 Exposition Boulevard

About this home

Less than 650 Feet to USC Campus and only 300 Feet to Expo/Vermont Metro Station. We are pleased to present 1073 Exposition Blvd, a newly constructed (2021) 16-unit, 44-bed multifamily investment opportunity located less than one block from the University of Southern California (USC) and directly adjacent to the USC Viterbi School of Engineering within the USC Department of Public Safety (DPS) patrol zone. Positioned next to the Expo/Vermont Metro E Line Station, the property benefits from exceptional walkability, transit connectivity, and consistent rental demand from both students and conventional apartment renters. Unlike much of the newer student housing inventory surrounding USC, which is designed as dorm-style, by-the-bed housing, 1073 Exposition Blvd was built with apartment-grade construction featuring conventional unit layouts, elevator service, and rooftop amenities. This design creates unique operational flexibility, allowing ownership to continue operating the asset as premium student housing or transition to traditional market-rate apartments serving renters seeking convenient access to Downtown Los Angeles, Mid-City, Culver City, and the Westside via the Metro system. The property consists of 16 fully furnished units across a diverse unit mix of nine three-bedroom units, six two-bedroom units, and one five-bedroom unit. Units feature open floor plans, wood-style flooring, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, central HVAC, in-unit laundry, and abundant natural light, providing a modern living experience that appeals to a broad tenant base. Offered at $7,950,000, the property represents an extremely low basis for an elevator-equipped / 2021 built asset at $390 per square foot and $180,682 per bed, significantly below replacement cost and below many competing assets in the USC submarket. The offering offers significant additional upside through rent growth as in-place rents are adjusted toward market levels during future leasing cycles. USC remains one of the strongest housing demand drivers in Southern California, with an enrollment exceeding 46,000 students and a substantial portion of the student population residing off campus. The university's continued focus on enrollment growth, academic expansion, and global recruitment supports long-term demand for quality housing within walking distance of campus. As a recently constructed asset, the property also offers potential tax advantages through cost segregation and accelerated depreciation strategies. Buyers are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding eligibility and potential benefits. With a premier walk-to-campus location, immediate access to rail transit, modern construction, elevator service, strong in-place cash flow, and a compelling sub-$400 per square foot acquisition basis, 1073 Exposition Blvd presents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey asset in one of Los Angeles' most durable and supply-constrained rental markets.
