Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1995, this condo has undergone significant recent updates, including brand-new appliances, granite countertops, updated kitchen cabinets, modern laminate flooring throughout, and a renovated bathroom. The property is move-in ready with a fresh coat of paint. While the kitchen and bathroom are in excellent, updated condition, the presence of a wall-mounted AC unit rather than central air, and the overall age of the building (29 years), prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' score. However, the extensive recent renovations place it firmly in the 'Good' category, offering a well-maintained and appealing living space.
Pros & Cons
Pros
FHA & VA Approved: The property is FHA and VA approved, significantly broadening the potential buyer pool to include first-time homebuyers and veterans, which can lead to a quicker sale.
Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a quiet, gated community with desirable amenities including a pool, spa, playground, and designated parking, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Interior Upgrades & Features: The condo boasts brand-new appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, and granite countertops, offering modern conveniences and a move-in ready condition.
Affordable Price Point & Reduction: Described as 'affordable' and 'a great price,' the recent price reduction from $350,000 to $325,000 makes it an attractive option in the San Diego County market.
HOA Inclusions: The HOA covers water and trash, simplifying monthly expenses and providing a low-maintenance living experience for the owner.
Cons
Small Square Footage: With only 597 sqft, the living space is quite compact, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more room or those with extensive belongings.
High Association Fee: The $481 monthly association fee is relatively high for a 1-bedroom condo, potentially impacting overall affordability for some buyers despite the included services.
Limited Bedroom Count: Being a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit, it caters to a specific demographic (singles, couples, investors) and may not appeal to families or those needing additional space.
