520 East Walnut Street is a 16-unit multifamily investment property located in Santa Ana, CA. Built in 1983, 520 East Walnut Street offers exclusively two-bedroom townhomes with private patios. The property features highly desirable amenities including in-unit laundry hookups, central A/C and heating, controlled pedestrian access, and a gated subterranean parking garage. Currently, there are 12 renovated or partially renovated units that feature high-quality upgrades including appliances, shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, plumbing fixtures, recessed lighting, and more.

Furthermore, current ownership has identified under-utilized community space that could further increase rental income and diversify the overall unit mix through the conversion of a storage room into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). 520 East Walnut Street benefits from its excellent central Santa Ana location just south of Downtown Santa Ana and its bustling 4th Street, providing residents with convenient access to a plethora of retail, dining, and entertainment options.
