Property Detail

Description

4866 E Granada St presents an attractive vacant residential infill opportunity in the hillside community of Highland Park / Northeast Los Angeles. The property consists of an approximately 5,739.9 sq. ft. lot zoned R1-1-HCR, with a Low Residential General Plan land use designation. The parcel is located within the Mount Washington–Glassell Park Specific Plan and the Northeast Los Angeles Hillside Construction Regulation District, making it best suited for a carefully designed hillside single-family residence. The lot is surrounded by established residential development and fronts Granada St, offering an investor the potential to create a custom hillside home in a desirable Los Angeles neighborhood. The site is currently identified by the Assessor as vacant residential land, with no existing building data shown, which may provide a clean redevelopment canvas subject to City review and utility confirmation. From a feasibility standpoint, the property benefits from being outside a mapped flood zone, with no mapped landslide, liquefaction, methane hazard, watercourse, stream, oil well adjacency, or Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone designation shown in the ZIMAS report. However, the lot is located in a Hillside Area, a Special Grading Area, and a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so future development should anticipate hillside design, grading, fire access, drainage, geotechnical, and utility due diligence. For investors, this property should be viewed as a value-add hillside development opportunity rather than a simple flat-lot build. The likely highest and best use is a new custom single-family residence, potentially in the ±1,800–2,400 sq. ft. range depending on survey, slope analysis, grading limits, street access, fire-flow availability, and Specific Plan review. The property’s location, zoning, and vacant status make it a compelling acquisition candidate, but underwriting should include contingencies for survey/topography, utility availability, sewer connection feasibility, fire-flow confirmation, and geotechnical review.
