A licensed surveyor has confirmed that this over 16,000 sq ft corner lot can be divided into two independent parcels. A buyer who occupies one of the homes may pursue a potential SB 9 urban lot split to officially divide the property, with the possibility of adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and potentially a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) on each side. Buyers should independently verify SB 9 eligibility, ADU/JADU allowances, and all development potential with the City of Santa Ana. Situated in a prime location this property is just minutes away from Mile Square Regional Park, which offers 640 acres of trails, ball fields, golf courses, and playgrounds. It also provides quick access to the 22 and 405 freeways. Notable locations like South Coast Plaza are only 3 miles away, with Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm less than 7 miles away, and Old Towne Orange located 3 miles to the east. The homes are served by the Garden Grove Unified School District, which includes Fitz Intermediate Language Academy (B+ rating, 7/10 on GreatSchools), a distinguished feature for a Santa Ana address. Please note that the property is sold as-is and we kindly ask that you do not disturb the occupants.
