131 S Boyle Avenue is a 15-unit multifamily property in the heart of Boyle Heights, just east of Downtown Los Angeles. Built in 1887 and designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, the former Simon Gless Farmhouse showcases over 125 years of architectural charm on a 10, 170 SF LAR4-zoned lot. The property features (12) studios and (3) one-bedroom units across 4, 709 SF, with master-metered utilities. Residents benefit from a highly walkable location near the Arts District, Little Tokyo, White Memorial Hospital, and Mariachi Plaza Metro Station (E Line), with direct freeway access for seamless connectivity across Los Angeles.
