Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1971, this condo is over 50 years old. While appearing well-maintained, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, black appliances, and laminate countertops. The bathroom also presents with a dated vanity, laminate countertop, and strip lighting. Flooring consists of older carpets and laminate. The overall aesthetic and fixtures suggest that any significant updates were likely completed 15-30 years ago, rather than recently. The property is functional and move-in ready, but requires minor cosmetic updates to meet current quality and style standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Downtown Location: The condo is perfectly situated in the heart of Walnut Creek, offering immediate access to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment, along with convenient freeway access for commuters.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wide array of amenities including a fitness center, pools, spa, and a stylish clubhouse, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.
Convenient Parking: The property includes both assigned and guest parking, providing ease and security for residents and visitors alike, which is a significant advantage in a dense urban area.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as a 'well-maintained' residence, suggesting that the property is in good order and may require less immediate investment in repairs or updates.
Strong School District: Located within a highly-rated school district, including Las Lomas High School (9/10) and Walnut Creek Intermediate (7/10), which is attractive for families and contributes to long-term value.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $560.0 per month is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership, potentially impacting affordability for some buyers.
Older Building Age: Built in 1971, the building is over 50 years old, which may imply older infrastructure, potential for future maintenance issues, or a need for aesthetic updates compared to newer constructions.
Limited Bathroom Count: The 2-bedroom unit features only 1 bathroom, which can be a functional limitation for multiple occupants, guests, or for resale value compared to units with more bathrooms.
