1237 West 25th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007

The Ben Lee Group is pleased to present 1237 W 25th Street, a 19-bed student housing investment opportunity located immediately north of the USC campus, within the USC Department of Public Safety (DPS) 24-hour patrol zone. The property totals approximately 6,500 rentable square feet spread across two separate structures, offering a diverse unit mix designed to accommodate both individual students leasing by the bed and larger groups seeking shared living arrangements.

1237 W 25th St is offered at a 6.14% cap rate and a 10.01 GIM, providing a stronger yield compared to many conventional multifamily assets currently trading at lower cap rates. Student housing near USC benefits from structurally resilient demand supported by consistent enrollment, predictable lease cycles, and a tenant base less correlated with traditional economic drivers. The property is less than a mile from USC Village, and just north of the Expo/Vermont Metro Station, providing direct access to Downtown Los Angeles, Mid-City, and the Westside.

Remodeled in 2023, the front structure underwent a full "to-the-studs" reconstruction, delivering a brand-new foundation, framing, and roofing system. Interiors feature modern finishes including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, tiled showers with glass enclosures, new flooring, and in-unit washers and dryers. The rear structure is a ground-up new construction, also completed in 2023, mirroring these high-end finishes throughout — creating a cohesive, low-maintenance asset with strong tenant appeal.

The property consists of four units across two structures: a 4-bedroom/3-bath and a studio in the front building, and two 7-bedroom/6-bath townhouse-style residences in the rear. Unit sizes range from a self-contained studio to expansive 7-bedroom layouts, accommodating a broad spectrum of student housing needs — from individual renters seeking affordability to large groups looking for shared community living. Each unit is fully furnished with in-unit laundry, large kitchens, and oversized common spaces, creating strong, consistent tenant appeal across the entire property.

USC enrolls over 46,000 students, with approximately 65 percent living off campus, creating a deep pool of rental demand. The university continues to climb in national rankings and received a record 83,488 freshman applications for Fall 2025.

Beyond its strong in-place cash flow, the property provides investors with compelling tax advantages. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, multifamily assets may qualify for 100% bonus depreciation, offering the potential to materially shelter income in the early years of ownership. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult the listing agents regarding a cost segregation feasibility study to fully assess and optimize these accelerated depreciation benefits.
