Property Description
On a quiet walk-street in Chinatown's main Central Plaza, down the way from the infamous Hop Louie dive bar and greasy spoon, this historic storefront conveys an aura of mystery and possibility. At present, the interior is divided into several smaller art studios with tall ceilings and glass walls, bustling with creative energy. Alternately the building itself presents a blank canvas, ready for restoration, renovation or conversion to one of any number of uses permitted in the LAC2 Zone (Commercial, Office and Residential). While the existing studio apartment appears to be unpermitted, zoning guidelines do provide for living and working on the property once proper permits have been obtained. Walk to the Gold Line, Union Station, Olvera Street and downtown from this exceptional property, ideal for owner/occupancy.

Recorded sales in this period (0)
No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
