1235-1239 N Detroit St, West Hollywood — 18-Unit Multifamily, $4M (Feb 2017)

Updated April 28, 2026

Units: 18 · Sale price: $3,950,000 · Price per unit: $219,444 · Closed: February 2017

A 18-unit mid-size multifamily property at 1235-1239 N Detroit St in West Hollywood, sold February 2017 for $3,950,000 — approximately $219,444 per unit.

2017 LA multifamily pricing approached cycle peaks. Buyer discipline was tightening on value-add deals even as top-line pricing continued to advance.

West Hollywood has its own rent stabilization ordinance distinct from LA City RSO, and a buyer pool that treats the submarket as a premium Westside-adjacent hold.

Mid-size multifamily in this unit range attracts both private investors and smaller institutional buyers, particularly on value-add theses.

Set against the rest of the West Hollywood record, this is the 4th largest of the 21 West Hollywood apartment buildings Michael Sterman has closed.

At $219,444 a unit it sits below the West Hollywood median of $354,286 — which is what size does to a per-unit number. This building is larger than the median West Hollywood closing at 8 units, and per-door pricing falls as unit count rises almost everywhere in Los Angeles. A citywide average per unit is not information; the comparable set has to match the building's size.

Other West Hollywood closings the same year: 7714-7720 Hampton Ave (22 units, $6,150,000), 866 Hilldale Ave (8 units, $4,025,000).
