Property Description
Investor's Dream in the Heart of Costa Mesa | Rare Oversized Lot + ADU Potential. Opportunity knocks at 2937 Mendoza Drive, a remodel-ready fourplex positioned on a massive 9,048 SF lot in one of Orange County's most desirable rental markets. Whether you're looking hold, explore expansion, or upgrade, this rare property offers incredible upside.
Each of the four townhome-style units features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, private patios, central heat, ceiling fans, and ample storage throughout-including under-stair closets, kitchen pantries, and spacious baths. Two units have newer flooring, and the front-facing double-pane windows were upgraded in 2017.
This is where it gets exciting: the large lot can potentially accommodate two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and potential garage conversions - see architectural drawings and consult with the city.
Additional highlights include 4 garage spaces + 3.5 surface spaces, communal laundry with separate metering (with additional income potential) and storage room (still more income potential), re-piped plumbing (2008), newer roof (2012), and updated water heater (2015-16). Separate gas and electric meters for each unit.
Located in the award-winning Newport Mesa Unified School District in a revitalizing neighborhood, this prime location is near South Coast Plaza, OC Fairgrounds, OCC, and has convenient access to the 405, 55 and 73 freeways. Whether you're an experienced investor, looking for upside investment, renovation potential, acquire a 1031 upleg or to grow with ADUs, 2937 Mendoza has it all.
