STATS AS OF JULY 2026

Mid-City's multifamily stock is mostly 1920s–1960s vintage, and much of it carries the below-market rents that make value-add underwriting work.

The retail corridors along Pico and Venice have been improving steadily, which strengthens the rent case for the blocks around them.
