Executive Summary

Melrose Apartments is a charming 16-unit community located at 2164 Second Avenue in the highly desirable Bankers Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. Built in 1920, the property features a mix of 14 studios and two one-bedroom / one-bathroom apartments. The property has charming original character, including hardwood floors, crown molding, Mission-style curved parapet, wide hallways, and an ornate wood/glass entry. The property's classic character and original architectural details are highly appealing to renters.
While the property has been well maintained, there is an opportunity for a new owner to renovate and modernize kitchens and bathrooms, providing a path to increase rents while preserving the property's character.

Residents are surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, cafés, shops, and neighborhood services, including Mister A's, Cucina Urbana, and Azuki Sushi.
