3-unit mixed-use Value-add property by Downtown Bell Gardens, 2 houses + 1 retail store on large lot, steps away from major national retailers and from Parkwest Bicycle Casino. Tenants Pay ALL utilities, Next to Brand-New residential condo/apartment development. 7901 Eastern Ave, a high-visibility mixed-use asset strategically positioned on a prime corner in the heart of Bell Gardens, CA. This versatile property represents a rare "Value-Add" or "Owner-User" opportunity in one of the most supply-constrained submarkets of Southeast Los Angeles. By combining storefront retail with residential units, the asset provides a diversified income stream that is uniquely insulated against market volatility, tapping into a neighborhood characterized by a 78% renter-occupied rate. Built in 1936, the property boasts a total of 3,192 SF on a 7,749 SF CORNER lot with approximately 65 linear feet of frontage along Eastern Avenue. Unit mix includes 1x Retail Store, 1x 3BD/1BA house and 1x 1BD/1BA house. Positioned on a high-traffic commercial artery, the property generates relentless visibility and consistent demand from premium service providers and boutique retailers. Unlike many neighboring assets, this corner-lot configuration (Eastern Ave & Gotham St) includes the massive competitive advantage of gated, on-site parking. This feature not only drives higher residential tenant retention but also provides essential accessibility for commercial clients in a high-density area where street parking is at a constant premium. Tenants pay for all utilities (water, trash, electricity and gas), making this a minimum responsibility investment for the owner. Offered at a competitive basis below replacement cost, 7901 Eastern Ave is primed for immediate equity capture. The residential units offer a "blank canvas" for a modern renovation program, allowing a new owner to bridge the gap between legacy rents and current market ceilings. With individual metering for water, gas and electricity and no requirement for an on-site manager, the operational overhead remains exceptionally lean, maximizing Net Operating Income (NOI) from day one. Ideally located minutes from the 710 and 5 Freeways, the property serves as a gateway to the massive employment hubs of Commerce, Vernon, and Downtown Los Angeles.
