 LONG BEACH, CA,  Feb. 12, 2015 – Stepp Commercial, the leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Long Beach market, has completed the $6,625,000 sale of Bixby Park Apartments, a 40-unit property located at 1132 San Antonio Dr. and 4481 Orange Ave. in the Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach.

Stepp also represented the buyer, a Westchester, Calif.-based private investor. The property closed at a 5.2 percent cap rate.

“The seller acquired the property in 2012 as a distressed, real-estate owned asset, invested approximately $800,000 in capital improvements and was able to make a strong return on investment.”

Stepp added that Bixby Park garnered 12 offers and sold at list price. The buyer plans to make additional cosmetic upgrades to the exteriors and interior units in order to add value for securing market rents.
