About this home
A rare opportunity in a prime Glendale location--ideal for an owner-user, income-property investor, or developer looking for long-term upside. This versatile duplex offers the opportunity to live in one unit while generating rental income from the other, hold as a solid investment, or explore the property's future development potential. Situated on a desirable R-1650 zoned lot, the property may offer an exciting opportunity for additional residential units or redevelopment, subject to City of Glendale requirements and approvals. For the savvy investor, the combination of existing rental income, valuable land, and higher-density zoning creates multiple paths to potentially increase income and maximize the property's long-term value. Owner-users can enjoy the flexibility and financial benefits of duplex living while building equity in one of Glendale's most sought-after communities. Investors and developers will appreciate the opportunity to unlock the property's full potential through renovation, repositioning, or future development. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, entertainment, major employment centers, and transportation, this is more than a duplex--it's an opportunity to own an income-producing property today with compelling possibilities for tomorrow. Buyer to independently verify zoning, allowable density, development potential, ADU opportunities, and all information with the City of Glendale.
Mariposa, located between Brand Boulevard and Central Avenue, is a residential and commercial Glendale neighborhood with mid-century apartment courts and a walkable grid of side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Brand Boulevard and Colorado Street corridor, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and coffee counters set a steady daytime hum. The Alex Theatre anchors local culture with marquee-lit nights and classic movie-house details. Nearby, The Americana at Brand adds a polished retail-and-dining promenade, while the Museum of Neon Art keeps the creative pulse literal. Architecture shifts from Spanish Revival touches to clean-lined postwar buildings, with pocket parks and civic plazas shaping the daily rhythm.

The R-1650 zone is intended primarily as a zone for medium-high density residential development with a minimum of 1,650 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit or approved overlay zone uses, in conformance with the comprehensive general plan of the city. The location of the R-1650 zone is based on convenience, adequacy of services, traffic circulation and the existence of open space and recreation areas that support the concentration of population in such zones. It is in the public interest that multiple residential dwelling areas in the community be made pleasant, inviting and efficient and that considerations of amenity and attractiveness are appropriate in the promotion of the health, safety and general welfare. Wireless telecommunication facilities are disfavored from locating in this zone, permitting these facilities only when no feasible alternative site exists or when a denial would constitute a prohibition on the provision of the affected telecommunications service.
