2-Units | Oak Center

Investment Overview

779 17th Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully updated duplex in the heart of Oakland's coveted Oak Center neighborhood. Comprising two generously sized 2-bedroom/1-bathroom units spanning 2,139 square feet, the property delivers an ideal unit mix for both investors and owner/occupants alike. Updated interiors throughout minimize near-term capital requirements, and with sewer lateral compliance already completed, an incoming buyer can transact with confidence knowing the major due diligence boxes have been checked. For the owner/occupant buyer, 779 17th Street offers a particularly compelling entry point into Oakland real estate. With one vacant 2-bed/1-bath unit ready for immediate occupancy, an owner/user can offset their mortgage by $2,450 per month from day one — building long-term equity in one of the East Bay's most sought-after neighborhoods while significantly reducing their monthly housing costs. For the pure investor, the property offers a low-maintenance, stabilized asset with strong in-place income and long-term appreciation potential in a fundamentally supply-constrained market. Boasting outstanding Walk, Transit, and Bike scores of 93, 82, and 82 respectively, residents enjoy unmatched access to neighborhood amenities, the West Oakland BART station, Downtown Oakland, and major regional freeways. Buyers seeking to further expand their portfolio will find an added incentive in the adjacent 5-unit property at 769 17th Street, also available for sale and eligible for residential financing on the 4 units of record — presenting a rare chance to assemble a contiguous multi-unit portfolio in one of Oakland's most dynamic and desirable neighborhoods.
