Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location: Strategically located steps from the University of California Riverside, minutes from downtown, shopping, dining, major freeways, and outdoor recreational areas, ensuring high demand for both homeowners and renters.
Extensive Modern Updates: Recently refreshed with new vinyl flooring, updated bathrooms, recessed lighting, an upgraded balcony, fresh paint, and a brand-new AC unit, offering a move-in ready and low-maintenance living space.
Robust Community Amenities: The gated Woodlands community provides a sparkling swimming pool, relaxing jacuzzi, BBQ/picnic areas, onsite laundry, and pet-friendly grounds, significantly enhancing resident lifestyle and appeal.
Strong Investment & Rental Potential: Its prime location near UCR drives consistent rental demand, making it an attractive option for investors seeking reliable income and appreciation.
Inclusive HOA Benefits: HOA dues cover essential services like water, trash, sewer, and grounds maintenance, simplifying budgeting and reducing out-of-pocket expenses for owners.

Cons

Limited Living Space: With 616 sqft and a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout, the property offers compact living quarters, which may not suit individuals or couples desiring more expansive space.
Upstairs Unit & Detached Garage: As an upstairs unit, it requires stair access, and the one-car garage is detached, potentially posing minor inconvenience for daily access and loading/unloading compared to ground-floor or attached options.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly HOA fee of $376.34, while comprehensive in its inclusions, represents a substantial recurring cost that must be factored into the overall affordability for potential buyers.
