Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1962, is well-maintained with some positive updates such as engineered wood flooring, fresh paint, and stainless steel kitchen appliances. The bathroom also features an 'upgraded shower.' However, the kitchen's mirrored backsplash and fluorescent lighting, along with the bathroom's vanity and flooring, appear dated and are not consistent with a recent, extensive renovation. While move-in ready and functional, these areas would likely require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Resort-Style Community & Amenities: The 24-hour guard-gated Leisure World community offers an unparalleled array of amenities including a golf course, aquatic center, fitness center, multiple clubhouses, and essential on-site services, fostering an active and convenient lifestyle.
Panoramic Greenbelt Views & Wraparound Patio: The unit boasts expansive, serene park-like greenbelt views from a generous wraparound patio, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience and providing a tranquil setting.
Abundant Natural Light & Open Feel: Ample windows, skylights, smooth high ceilings, and a freshly painted neutral interior create a bright, open, and inviting floor plan.
Upgraded Interior Features: The property includes elegant engineered wood flooring in the living room, stainless steel kitchen appliances, and an upgraded shower, providing modern comforts and appeal.
Desirable Coastal Location: Its proximity to the ocean, charming Main Street Seal Beach, and easy freeway access offers convenience and a vibrant coastal lifestyle.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $573.24 for a 750 sqft unit is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Stock Cooperative Ownership Structure: The 'Stock Cooperative' sub-type can involve specific financing requirements and ownership rules that differ from traditional real estate, potentially limiting the buyer pool and complicating transactions.
Lack of In-Unit Laundry: The property currently lacks in-unit laundry facilities, with only a 'possibility for inside laundry conversion,' which may be a significant drawback for many prospective buyers.
