How old they are.
Half the apartment parcels in 93536 Lancaster were built in 1958 or earlier. 94 of 151, about 62%, went up in 1978 or before.
Across the 255 ZIP codes on this site that share is 89%, so 93536 Lancaster has a smaller share of older buildings than the average. Older buildings tend to carry the questions a buyer will ask about, like plumbing, electrical, the roof and whether the building needs a seismic retrofit.
Rent control in 93536 Lancaster.
The City of Los Angeles rent ordinance does not cover 93536 Lancaster. 94 of the parcels here were built in 1978 or earlier, and age is usually the first thing a local rent rule looks at.
Most of the parcels in this ZIP with a known jurisdiction are in unincorporated Los Angeles County, and the County runs its own rent stabilization ordinance for many older buildings there.
How long owners hold.
The median Prop 13 base year for apartment parcels in 93536 Lancaster is 2013. A base year resets when a building sells, so an old one usually means the same owner or the same family has held it a long time.
25 parcels, 17%, still carry a base year of 1995 or earlier. The figure for all 255 ZIP codes here is 28%, so owners in 93536 Lancaster have held for less time than the average.
Long-held buildings often pay property tax on a value set decades ago. When they sell, the new owner is taxed on the price, which is part of why rents and expenses on these buildings need a close look before anyone sets a price.
How often buildings sell.
By last recorded transfer, 6 apartment parcels in 93536 Lancaster changed hands in 2022, 10 in 2023 and 8 in 2024.
That is 5.3% of the parcels here, against 7.3% across all 255 ZIP codes, so buildings here turned over less often than the average.
A building that sold twice in those years shows up once, in its later year, and a transfer is not always a sale at market. A move into a trust or between family members is recorded too.
