Direct answer
The combination of three separate residences, a detached three-bedroom front home, three kitchens, a nearly 1,000-square-foot rooftop deck, an approximately 35-foot-wide Downtown lot, and proximity to the beach creates multiple potential ownership strategies at 711 Huntington Street. That combination is what separates it from a typical Huntington Beach investment property, and why it can appeal to more than one type of buyer at once.
711 Huntington Street holds three genuinely separate residences on one Downtown Huntington Beach lot: a detached front home, a loft-style residence above the garages, and an independent lower residence. Together they total six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and three full kitchens, on a lot roughly 35 feet wide, wider than many of the approximately 27.5-foot parcels common in this part of Downtown.
What makes it unusual is not simply the unit count. It is the mix: a fully detached front residence rather than a shared-wall unit, a rooftop deck approaching 1,000 square feet, and a lot with more width than most of its neighbors. That combination is why the property can reasonably interest a multifamily investor, an owner-occupant, a house-hack buyer, a family wanting multiple residences on one deed, and a buyer simply evaluating a well-located Downtown parcel, sometimes more than one of those at once.
Three Separate Residences
Detached · 3 bed · 2 bath
The front residence is a fully detached, remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the kind of separation that changes the entire feel of a multi-residence property. Vaulted ceilings and skylights carry natural light through an open-concept living space, and the kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and full-size appliances.
The primary suite includes a remodeled en-suite bathroom, and two additional bedrooms give the front residence real flexibility, room for a family, a home office, or space for a live-in owner who still wants the rest of the property working for them.
2 bed · 2 bath · above the garages
The upper residence sits above the garages and reads as a loft-style retreat: engineered wood flooring, an updated kitchen, and a large primary bedroom with dual closets and its own en-suite bathroom. A second bedroom and full bathroom complete the unit.
This is also the residence with direct access to the rooftop deck, which puts nearly 1,000 square feet of outdoor living space and 360-degree views immediately outside its door, a rare pairing for a Downtown Huntington Beach unit.
1 bed · 1 bath · independent
The lower residence is a compact, independent living space with its own full kitchen, one bedroom, one bathroom, and a mini-split system for its own heating and cooling. It functions as a self-contained unit, separate from the front and upper residences.
Whether it becomes a long-term rental, a space for extended family, or a starting point for a house-hacking strategy, the lower residence is what makes 711 Huntington Street a genuine three-residence property rather than a house with an attached suite.
711 Huntington Street may appeal to a buyer searching for an owner-occupied multifamily property in Huntington Beach because its three-residence configuration creates the possibility of occupying one residence while renting the others, subject to leases, financing, local regulations, and the buyer’s individual circumstances.
This is the search a lot of buyers run without quite knowing the term for it: house hacking, owner-occupied multifamily, live in one unit and rent the others. What makes 711 different from a typical stacked triplex answering that search is the detached front residence. Instead of sharing a wall or a hallway with the units you are renting out, an owner-occupant gets a genuinely separate 3-bedroom home, with the upper and lower residences functioning independently nearby, potentially offering supplemental rental income rather than a roommate-style arrangement.
Positioning a property like this correctly, to the right mix of owner-occupant and investor buyers, is exactly the work involved in selling and evaluating Huntington Beach multifamily properties. Buyers should confirm financing eligibility, current occupancy, and local regulations directly rather than assuming any specific arrangement.
For an investor, 711 Huntington Street’s three-residence configuration means three distinct rental profiles under one roof: a 3-bedroom detached house, a 2-bedroom loft-style unit with rooftop access, and a compact 1-bedroom unit. That mix diversifies the kind of tenant each residence can attract, rather than offering three near-identical units competing for the same renter.
Downtown Huntington Beach is one of the strongest rental pockets in the city, close to the beach, Main Street, and Pacific City, and multifamily stock this close to the coastline rarely comes to market. That scarcity, combined with the property’s condition and layout, is the long-term hold case independent of any single year’s numbers.
We do not publish a cap rate, GRM, or NOI on this page, or project future rents or appreciation. Current, verified rental and income information is available directly from Ratowsky Group; ask for it through the form below rather than relying on generic market assumptions.
Different buyers are running different math on the same property, and 711 Huntington Street is a clear example of why that matters. An owner-occupant may value the detached front residence itself, the ability to live in it, the potential for rental income from the other two residences to offset the mortgage, the outdoor space, the rooftop, and the Downtown location. An investor may weigh rents, unit mix, and operating performance across all three residences and the property’s long-term hold characteristics. A builder or developer may look past the current improvements entirely to the parcel itself, its roughly 35-foot width, and whatever the applicable zoning allows, a separate question from anything the existing residences offer today.
None of those lenses is automatically correct for this property, which is how investors, developers and end-users value Huntington Beach properties differently: each is worth understanding on its own terms rather than defaulting to a single pitch. We are not making a redevelopment feasibility claim for 711 Huntington Street; any zoning or development question should be verified directly with the City of Huntington Beach and a qualified professional.
Some buyers researching a Downtown Huntington Beach property this close to the beach are specifically evaluating Airbnb or short-term-rental possibilities, sometimes paired with living in one of the residences themselves. 711 Huntington Street’s three independent residences, each with its own kitchen, are the kind of layout that draws that question.
We are not claiming short-term-rental approval or eligibility for this property. Buyers considering Airbnb or short-term-rental use should independently verify current City of Huntington Beach regulations, permitting requirements, occupancy restrictions, and the property’s specific eligibility before assuming any income from that use. Local short-term-rental rules can change, and no income projection for short-term use should be assumed from this page.
Accessed from the upper residence, the rooftop deck at 711 Huntington Street is approximately 1,000 square feet with 360-degree views, a genuinely unusual feature for a Downtown Huntington Beach property. Most Downtown lots simply do not have the width or layout to support outdoor space this large above the second story.
It functions as a real extension of the upper residence’s living space, outdoor entertaining, morning coffee with a view, evening light over the surrounding blocks, and it is the kind of amenity that differentiates the upper unit for a renter, a house-hacking owner living upstairs, or simply the household that ends up using it most.
At roughly 35 feet, the lot at 711 Huntington Street is wider than many of the approximately 27.5-foot-wide parcels common Downtown. That extra width is a physical fact about the property, not a claim about development rights, and it shows up directly in how the existing improvements are laid out: more usable living and outdoor space, a detached front residence rather than a structure pressed against the property line, and an overall configuration that would be difficult to replicate on a standard narrow Downtown lot.
A wider lot is also one of the facts a builder or developer weighs when evaluating a parcel's optionality, alongside how lot characteristics can affect the positioning of Huntington Beach redevelopment-oriented properties. We are not asserting any specific development or redevelopment right for this parcel; current zoning, buildable capacity, and any subdistrict-specific rules should be confirmed directly with the City of Huntington Beach and a qualified professional before any development scenario is treated as settled.
711 Huntington Street sits in the Downtown Huntington Beach core, within the same walkable area as Main Street, the Huntington Beach Pier, and Pacific City, the oceanfront shopping, dining, and resort corridor. For an owner-occupant, that means day-to-day life close to the sand without a car. For a renter, it is the single biggest driver of demand in this part of the city, which is why Downtown units lease consistently.
For an investor, proximity to the coastline, restaurants, and shopping supports both long-term rental demand and resale value independent of any single tenant or lease term. For a buyer thinking further out, it is simply one of the more difficult locations in Huntington Beach to replicate: this close to the pier and the oceanfront resort corridor, multifamily and unusual-configuration properties do not come to market often.
Buyer fit
Multifamily investor
Three separate residences read as three potential income streams under one Downtown roof, a form of rental diversification a single-unit rental cannot offer.
Owner-occupant
The detached front residence offers real separation from the other two, a livable primary home rather than a shared-wall unit inside a converted structure.
House-hack buyer
Occupying one residence while the other two potentially help offset the mortgage is the core appeal of a 2-4 unit property, and 711's configuration is built for that.
Long-term rental investor
A buyer planning to hold and rent for years, not flip, gains three distinct rental profiles (a 3-bedroom house, a 2-bedroom loft-style unit, and a 1-bedroom unit) on one Downtown lot.
Coastal real estate investor
Downtown Huntington Beach multifamily stock rarely turns over. A property this close to the beach, Main Street, and Pacific City carries scarcity value independent of its current rents.
Buyer seeking multiple residences
Extended family, adult children, or a live-in caretaker can each have a genuinely separate residence, not a converted bedroom, on a single deed.
Buyer evaluating parcel optionality
An approximately 35-foot-wide Downtown lot, wider than many of the roughly 27.5-foot parcels nearby, is a fact buyers weighing long-term optionality often want to know, independent of any specific redevelopment claim.
“The mistake we see most with a property like 711 is assuming there’s only one kind of buyer for it. Three separate residences on one lot supports an owner-occupant, an investor, and a family wanting multiple residences, sometimes all three are genuinely competing for it. Our job is reading the property honestly and making sure each of those buyers understands what they’re actually looking at.”

Yes. It contains three separate residences, each with its own kitchen, on a single Downtown Huntington Beach lot, which is what makes it a multifamily or multi-residence property rather than a single-family home.
Three: a detached 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom front residence, a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom upper residence above the garages, and a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom lower residence.
Six bedrooms and five bathrooms total across the three residences: three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the front residence, two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the upper residence, and one bedroom and one bathroom in the lower residence.
Yes. All three residences have full, independent kitchens, which is part of what allows each to function as its own self-contained living space rather than a shared arrangement.

Many buyers considering 711 Huntington Street are specifically evaluating an owner-occupied strategy, living in one residence while the other two potentially generate rental income.

Yes. An investor may view the three residences as three separate income streams and evaluate the property on rents, expenses, and long-term hold potential, the same way they would any small multifamily building.
Possibly, but this should not be assumed. Buyers considering Airbnb or short-term-rental use should independently verify current City of Huntington Beach regulations, permitting requirements, occupancy restrictions, and the property's specific eligibility before counting on that income.
Yes, a nearly 1,000-square-foot rooftop deck with 360-degree views, accessed from the upper residence. A deck of this size is unusual for a Downtown Huntington Beach property.
Approximately 1,000 square feet, offering 360-degree views over the surrounding Downtown blocks.
Approximately 35 feet, wider than many of the roughly 27.5-foot-wide parcels common Downtown.
