Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this property is 46 years old. While some areas like the living room flooring appear updated and walls are freshly painted, the bathroom features very dated small square tiles on the counter and floor, suggesting it has not been significantly renovated in over 30 years. The ceiling fans are also an older style. The absence of kitchen images is a concern, implying it may also be in an original or similarly dated condition. The property is maintained and functional but requires minor updates, particularly in the bathrooms and likely the kitchen, to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & School District: Strategically located adjacent to the popular Shops at Rossmoor and within the highly-rated Los Alamitos Unified School District, offering excellent convenience and educational opportunities.
Versatile Bonus Space: Includes a dedicated bonus area/den/office, providing valuable flexible space for remote work, hobbies, or an additional living area.
Private 2-Car Garage with Storage: Features a private 2-car garage with built-in storage, a significant and highly desirable amenity for condominium living, offering secure parking and ample storage.
Comprehensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from gated entries, common laundry rooms, sitting areas with BBQs, and an in-ground spa, enhancing lifestyle, security, and recreational options.
Central Air Conditioning & HOA Inclusions: Equipped with central air conditioning for year-round comfort, and HOA dues cover water and trash, simplifying monthly expenses for residents.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old, which may suggest potential for older systems, dated finishes, or a need for modernization in some areas.
Moderate HOA Dues: The association fee of $561.00 per month is a notable ongoing cost, which, despite including water and trash, could impact overall affordability for some buyers.
Recent Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price ($610,000 to $589,000), which could indicate initial overpricing or a slower market response.
