The home

About 988 El Camino

Offered at $3,00,000, this 6-unit multifamily property in Costa Mesa provides a

strong turn-key opportunity in a supply-constrained market. Originally constructed

in 1964 as a 4-plex, the building was expanded in the past year with the addition of

two brand-new ADUs completed in 2026. The property now totals 5,267 SF and has been extensively

renovated with over $945,000 in recent improvements, including modern unit

interiors and durable finishes.

The unit mix includes studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, designed to capture a

wide range of tenant demand. With current rents already strong and additional

upside available, investors can benefit from both immediate income and long-term

appreciation.

Located near South Coast Plaza, The Camp, and major transportation corridors, the

property combines stable tenant demand with proven rental performance, making for

a strategic investment in a highly sought-after Orange County submarket.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.32% (week of Oct 22, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Costa Mesa rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures.
