Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1974, this property is 50 years old and shows significant signs of age and wear. The kitchen features very outdated white appliances, yellow laminate countertops, and original-style white cabinets, indicating no major renovations in decades. The flooring, particularly the dark carpets in the bedrooms, appears heavily worn, stained, and matted, requiring immediate replacement. While the description mentions 'minor cosmetic work,' the visual evidence suggests more substantial updates are needed, especially in the kitchen and for all flooring. There are no apparent structural issues, but the property is clearly aged and its major components are outdated, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Aggressive Pricing Strategy: The property is explicitly 'Priced to sell' and noted as 'one of the lowest priced condos in Ventura' at $396,000, further supported by a recent price reduction from $415,000.
Spacious Floor Plan: Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 1135 sqft provides a generous living space, which is attractive for families or those needing extra rooms.
Convenient Location: Situated 'Near Shopping, govt. center and more' in Ventura, indicating excellent accessibility to essential amenities and services.
Value-Add Opportunity: The description 'Needs some minor cosmetic work' presents an opportunity for a buyer to personalize the unit and potentially increase its value with relatively small investments.
Access to Quality Schools: Proximity to several public schools, including highly-rated elementary (Montalvo Elementary, rating 6) and high schools (Ventura High, rating 6; Buena High, rating 6), is a significant draw for families.
Cons
Age and Condition: Built in 1974, the property is 50 years old, and the mention of 'minor cosmetic work' suggests potential for outdated features or deferred maintenance requiring immediate investment.
High Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $501.0 is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of homeownership, potentially impacting affordability for some buyers.
Lack of Desirable Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a disadvantage in a coastal city like Ventura where scenic views are often highly sought after and can command a premium.
