Marcus & Millichap arranged the sale of Villa Hermosa Apartments, a 95-unit apartment community in Norwalk, Calif., for $20 million or $211 per unit. The company represented the seller and procured the buyer in the deal, both private investment entities. One of the latest deals arranged by Marcus & Millichap include a 420-unit community located in Madison, Wis.

Villa Hermosa Apartments is situated at 14717 S. Pioneer Blvd., along Interstate 605 and close to Interstate 5 and State Route 91. Long Beach is less than seven miles away. Built in 1963, the two-story property comprises four buildings and sits on a 2.5-acre site, featuring one- and two-bedroom apartments averaging 777 square feet. Community amenities include:

  • controlled access
  • swimming pool
  • laundry facilities
  • 95 covered, grade-level parking spaces
  • rental office

The buyer plans to upgrade the interior units and exterior communal areas to enhance value and increase revenue, according to Matthew Kipp, vice president investments at Marcus & Millichap.

“The sale is the largest non-institutional multifamily transaction in Norwalk this year,” said Tyler Leeson, senior managing director investments at Marcus & Millichap, in prepared remarks. “It is also the year’s largest private client sale to have taken place along the 605 corridor in Los Angeles County from Long Beach to Whittier.”
