Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1986, this property has received recent cosmetic updates like new paint and blinds, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, speckled countertops, and a mix of older white appliances alongside a newer stainless steel refrigerator. The bathroom vanity matches the kitchen's older style, and the light fixture is also dated. While functional and well-maintained, the core elements of the kitchen and bathroom show signs of being outdated, aligning with a property built over 20 years ago with renovations likely 15-30 years ago, or original components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Proximity to UCR, shopping centers, major freeways (215, 91, & 60), and The Highlander Trolley stop offers unparalleled convenience and strong potential for rental demand.
Community Amenities & Security: The Palmilla community provides secure, gated access, a pool, and a spa, enhancing the living experience and resident safety.
Recent Interior Upgrades: The unit features modern updates including new interior paint, a storage door, and window blinds, making it move-in ready and aesthetically appealing.
HOA Inclusions: The Homeowners Association covers water and trash services, which helps reduce monthly utility costs for the owner.
Investment Potential: Positioned as a solid investment for building equity instead of paying rent, this property is attractive to first-time homebuyers or investors.
Cons
Compact Living Space: With only 604 sqft, the 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout may be restrictive for some buyers, particularly those needing more space or planning for a family.
High HOA Fees: An association fee of $420.0 per month is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly adding to the overall monthly housing expense.
Potential Overpricing: The listing price of $265,000 is 8% higher than the estimated property value of $241,242.25, suggesting it may be priced above current market expectations.
