Located one block from the beach and directly across from Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, this beautifully renovated 7-unit apartment property offers the kind of setting investors and lifestyle buyers search for but rarely find. The best of Carpinteria is readily at hand: relaxed beach-town lifestyle, a charming downtown, and inviting coastline and natural beauty. The property features 7 - 2BD/1BA, each approximately 825-850 square feet. Three units can be delivered vacant by 3rd quarter 2026 giving a new owner flexibility to capture market rents, pursue short-term rental income (subject to permitting), or reserve units for personal use. Linden Avenue, Carpinteria's famously strollable downtown corridor lined with restaurants and shops, is just a few blocks away. Linden Square is a new dynamic hub with tenants including Third Window Brewing, Corazón Cocina, Tina's Pizza, and Dart Coffee. Little Dom's Seafood is another dining draw nearby. Two planned projects -- the City's Linden Plaza improvement at the beach end of Linden Avenue, and the proposed Surfliner Inn mixed-use hotel and café at the former train depot -- indicate continued investment in the area. For the buyer who values location as much as income potential, 160 Ash Avenue checks every box: renovated coastal product, a highly walkable setting, flexible occupancy options, and an ideal site in one of Southern California's most endearing beach communities.
