3760 Dufresne Ct Los Angeles Multifamily Investment
High renter concentration in the surrounding neighborhood and a high-cost ownership market point to durable apartment demand, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Positioning near strong amenities supports tenant retention and leasing stability.
The property sits in an Urban Core pocket ranked 27 out of 1,441 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale neighborhoods, indicating top-tier positioning within the metro. Neighborhood amenities are a clear strength: dense clusters of restaurants, cafes, grocery options, pharmacies, and parks place the area in the upper percentiles nationally, which tends to support leasing velocity and day-to-day convenience for residents.
Home values in the neighborhood sit at the high end of the market (99th percentile nationally), creating a high-cost ownership environment that reinforces reliance on multifamily rentals. At the same time, neighborhood rent-to-income sits below many coastal submarkets, which can aid lease retention and reduce turnover risk from affordability pressure. Median school ratings are above the national median, a useful quality-of-life signal for long-term renters.
Tenure data indicates depth in the renter base: the neighborhood shows a high share of renter-occupied units, and within a 3-mile radius renters account for an estimated 60% of housing units. This renter concentration supports demand for professionally managed apartments and a larger prospective tenant pool for a 45-unit asset. Occupancy measured for the neighborhood is below national medians, so competitive pricing and asset quality remain important to sustain stability.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics point to a smaller average household size and a growing count of households alongside modest recent population fluctuation. Forecasts indicate population and household expansion over the next five years, implying a larger tenant base and sustained demand for rental units. These dynamics, combined with amenity density and strong incomes in the area, are constructive for long-run multifamily performance based on WDSuite’s multifamily property research.
Neighborhood safety indicators are favorable relative to national benchmarks. Overall crime performance is above the national average (around the 81st percentile), and violent offense measures sit in a stronger band (roughly the 73rd percentile nationally). Recent year-over-year trends point to notable reductions in both violent and property offenses, suggesting improving conditions rather than deterioration.
Within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro context, the neighborhood ranks well (204 out of 1,441 neighborhoods), indicating competitive safety among peer areas. As with any urban core location, results can vary block to block, but the directional trend and comparative standing support renter appeal and leasing confidence without relying on sensational claims.
Nearby corporate offices anchor a diversified employment base that supports steady renter demand and commute convenience, including roles in interactive entertainment, cybersecurity, software, engineering, and energy. The list below highlights major employers within an approximately five-mile radius.
- Activision Blizzard — interactive entertainment (2.1 miles) — HQ
- Symantec — cybersecurity (2.4 miles)
- Microsoft Offices The Reserves — software offices (2.7 miles)
- AECOM — engineering & infrastructure (3.1 miles) — HQ
- Occidental Petroleum — energy (3.5 miles) — HQ
This Los Angeles Urban Core location pairs high-end neighborhood fundamentals with a sizable renter pool, underpinned by elevated home values that make ownership less accessible and reinforce multifamily demand. Amenity density is a standout, while neighborhood net operating income per unit trends strong relative to national norms. Neighborhood occupancy tracks below national medians, so maintaining competitive finishes and service will be important for stability.
Within a 3-mile radius, the outlook indicates a larger tenant base over the next five years, with household growth outpacing recent population trends and average household sizes drifting smaller—both constructive for apartment absorption. According to commercial real estate analysis from WDSuite, the area’s safety metrics compare favorably at the national level and have improved year over year, supporting leasing confidence without implying guarantees.
- High-cost ownership market sustains renter reliance, supporting pricing power
- Dense amenities and strong incomes aid leasing velocity and retention
- Improving safety trends and diversified nearby employers support demand
