A rare five-studio investment property in Oakland’s Santa Fe neighborhood, offering the approachable feel of a small residential compound rather than a traditional apartment building. The single-story layout places the units along a private driveway leading to three individual garage bays—an increasingly valuable feature for parking, storage, or potential additional income. Vacant Unit B has been thoughtfully remodeled with granite countertops, refreshed cabinetry, recessed lighting, new carpeting, and an updated bathroom, allowing a buyer to begin leasing immediately. The remaining studios provide established income with meaningful rental upside as future vacancies occur, subject to applicable regulations. Set on an approximately 5,400-square-foot lot near Berkeley, Emeryville, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, transit, shopping, and commuter routes, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire five units at an attractive per-unit basis.
