Real estate news: 18-unit apartment complex in Surf City fetches $7.4 million

The 18-unit Yorktown Apartments in Huntington Beach sold recently for $7.4 million or $411,111 per unit.

It was the first time the property at 7701 Yorktown Ave. has been on the market in more than 30 years, according to CBRE, which represented the seller and the all-cash buyer from Newport Beach.

Completed in 1973 and 1974, the two-building complex includes one studio and 17 two-bedroom units in 15,903 square feet.

The property includes a courtyard, picnic area and private patios or balconies in certain units. Recent improvements, CBRE noted, include new exterior paint, garage roofs, stairs, upper-level walkways, and washers and dryers.

“For the buyer, this acquisition presented an opportunity to capitalize on the property’s all-electric buildings and the potential for rental upside in a desirable Huntington Beach location, less than 2 miles from the beach,” said Mike O’Neill, a senior vice president at CBRE.

Neither the buyer nor the seller were identified by CBRE.
