About this home

$90,000 Under Market. Fell out of Escrow, Must Sell. * 2 Large Bedrooms * 2 Full Bathrooms * 2 Carport parking spaces * 2 Large Storage Closets * Kitchen, Dining Room & Living Room * Laundry 1min walk down hall * Pet friendly * Kid friendly * 2 Swimming Pools * Jacuzzi * Hot Dry Sauna in Gym * Full Gym with locker room * Clubhouse/Recreation Room for parties and events * Walk to restaurants, shopping, and several banks * This is truly one-of-a-kind, move-in-ready, and will not last long! Only needs Carpet in one room replaced and minor upgrades. ... Convenient to the 605, 405, 22 fwys, only 3 miles from the Beach, 5 miles to Huntington Beach and Disneyland, 2 miles from Long Beach, 30 minutes to LAX and DTLA. The house is modern, upgraded and everything works great, plus it includes a $15,000 Floor to Ceiling Stone Fireplace. The unit possesses a calm and peaceful energy with a perfect view of the Main Pool and Jacuzzi. Overall, the combined building and unit location make it the best in the complex. ... The private Balcony is perfect for enjoying the fresh ocean breeze. This unit, because of its location, only requires air or heat one week out of the year because of the moderate temperature and light cool breeze. If you have kid's or grand kid's or visitors in the pool, you can watch them from the balcony - or just have a glass of Wine and people watch. The complex is being updated and will be painted which will give it a more modern feel; and will be reflected in the increasing prices especially when interest rates go below 5% and you refinance. ... There is both Elevator and Stair access with a nice Park only 3 blocks away, and a larger Park (basketball, tennis etc) only 1 mile away, AND the highly acclaimed, award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District. ... One thing great about this Condo unit is the unique feature of the bedrooms being on opposites of the unit, separated by the kitchen and living room - so it's very private. This is the best location in the Rossmoor Park community. It's the 2nd floor, high enough for extreme privacy but also overlooks the Jacuzzi, the Pool and only 60 feet from the gym (so no excuses). ... Sale all ready approved.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1969, this property shows a mix of updates and original features. While it boasts new flooring and a modern electric fireplace, the kitchen appliances are visibly dated (white, older models), and the presence of a window AC unit suggests a lack of central air conditioning. The popcorn ceiling also indicates its age. The description mentions needing 'Carpet in one room replaced and minor upgrades,' which aligns with a 'fair' condition. It is move-in ready and functional, but significant components are outdated and would require further investment for a truly modern feel.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Value & Motivated Sale: The property is listed '$90,000 Under Market' due to a prior escrow falling through, indicating a highly motivated seller and a potential for a favorable purchase. The sale is also 'all ready approved', suggesting a streamlined closing process.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wealth of amenities including two swimming pools, a jacuzzi, a hot dry sauna in the gym, a full gym with a locker room, and a clubhouse/recreation room, offering a resort-like living experience.
Prime Location & Accessibility: The unit boasts excellent walkability to restaurants, shopping, and banks, and is conveniently located near major freeways (605, 405, 22). It's also just 3 miles from the beach, and close to Huntington Beach, Disneyland, and Long Beach, enhancing lifestyle and commute options.
Desirable Unit Features & Layout: Described as 'modern, upgraded and everything works great,' the unit includes a valuable '$15,000 Floor to Ceiling Stone Fireplace,' a private balcony with pool/jacuzzi views, and a private split-bedroom layout, enhancing comfort and privacy.
Top-Rated School District: Located within the 'highly acclaimed, award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District,' this property is a significant draw for families prioritizing education.

Cons

Minor Immediate Upgrades Required: The description notes that the unit 'Only needs Carpet in one room replaced and minor upgrades,' indicating some immediate out-of-pocket expenses for the buyer post-purchase.
Age of Building: Built in 1969, the property is over 50 years old. While stated as 'modern' and 'upgraded,' the age of the building could imply potential for future infrastructure maintenance or special assessments, despite ongoing complex updates.
Substantial Monthly Association Fee: The property carries a monthly association fee of $525.00, which is a significant recurring cost that adds to the overall expense of homeownership and may deter some potential buyers.
