Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1991, this condo shows signs of being well-maintained with key updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and modern LVP flooring, which extends into the bedroom. While the kitchen cabinets and countertops appear to be an older style, they are functional and clean. The property does not require immediate renovations, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria where some components are updated, and major systems are functional, even if a full recent renovation hasn't occurred.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Single Story Layout: The property is a single-story condo, offering enhanced accessibility and convenience, appealing to a broad range of buyers including seniors or those preferring no stairs.
Accessible Price Point: Listed at $260,000, this condo presents a relatively affordable entry point into the California real estate market, attractive to first-time homebuyers or investors.
Aesthetic Appeal: Described as 'Beautiful,' suggesting the property is well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing, which can enhance buyer interest and reduce perceived immediate renovation needs.
Established Construction: Built in 1991, the property is not excessively old, indicating a more established structure and potentially fewer immediate maintenance concerns compared to much older homes.
Desirable School District: Located within the Redlands Unified High School District, which can be a significant draw for certain buyers, even for a 1-bedroom unit, enhancing long-term appeal and resale value.
Cons
High Monthly HOA Fee: The $385.0 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom, 716 sqft condo, significantly increasing the total monthly housing cost and potentially deterring budget-conscious buyers.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'None' for views, meaning it lacks a desirable feature that often adds significant value and appeal, especially in competitive markets.
Limited Market Appeal: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit, the property inherently appeals to a smaller demographic (singles, couples, investors) compared to properties with more bedrooms, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
