Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This three-unit triplex offers an income-focused residential configuration with each unit featuring an open floor plan and knotty pine ceilings. The property also includes plenty of off-street parking and access to yard space, supporting flexible day-to-day living for tenants or owner-occupants. In addition, the third unit is described as created through a garage conversion, adding another independent rental option within the overall site.

Located at 1448 Railroad Drive in McKinleyville, California, the property is positioned for convenient access to local shopping and restaurants. The listing also notes proximity by short drive or bike ride to the local beach and Cal Poly Humboldt.

The layout and off-street parking make the property practical for tenants who value straightforward, residential-style space, while the three separate units support multiple rental streams. It may also appeal to an owner-occupant seeking to live in one unit and rent the other two to help offset expenses, or to investors looking for a small multi-family property under Multi-Family zoning. Because the third unit is part of a garage conversion, the arrangement may be particularly attractive to buyers evaluating options for a compact, self-contained income property.

Key Highlights

  • Multi‑unit property built in 1978 with three units, including a garage conversion for the third unit
  • Public sewer service and shingle roof
  • Units include open floor plans with knotty pine ceilings
