Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1971, this condo is over 50 years old. While the exterior appears maintained and the community pool is clean, the interior shows significant signs of age and lack of modern updates. The bathroom features very dated light wood cabinetry, an old-style countertop, and visible peeling paint on the walls, indicating a need for substantial renovation rather than minor updates. The living areas have grey carpeting, which is not a modern flooring choice and suggests the property has not undergone a recent comprehensive renovation. Although no kitchen images are provided, it's highly probable it matches the bathroom's outdated condition. The property is functional but requires substantial rehabilitation to meet current quality standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Convenience: Situated in Orange County, La Habra, the property boasts excellent proximity to essential amenities including shopping, restaurants, banks, and transportation, enhancing daily convenience.
Ideal for Specific Demographics: Explicitly marketed as 'perfect for that single person/couple just needing to start ownership,' it caters well to first-time buyers or those seeking a compact, manageable living space.
Recent Price Adjustment: A notable price reduction from $420,000 to $399,900 indicates a motivated seller and potentially offers a more attractive entry point for buyers.
Desirable View: The property features a pleasant 'Creek/Stream' view, adding to its aesthetic appeal and providing a tranquil living environment.
Reputable School District: Located within the Fullerton Joint Union High School District, which can be a significant draw for buyers considering future resale value or educational opportunities.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1971, the condominium is over 50 years old, which may suggest dated infrastructure, common areas, or potential for higher maintenance/renovation needs.
Compact Size: With only 660 square feet, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom, the unit's small footprint limits its appeal to a broader market, particularly families or those requiring more living space.
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $411.67 is relatively high for a 1-bedroom unit of this size, which could impact overall affordability and monthly carrying costs for potential buyers.
