Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this property is 44 years old. While it benefits from recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and laminate flooring, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances, basic white cabinets, and fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms have dated cultured marble vanities, older fixtures, and linoleum flooring. These areas require substantial aesthetic renovation to meet current quality standards, though the property appears clean and functional for living, consistent with a well-maintained rental.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Functional Layout & Updates: The property offers a practical 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout with a convenient downstairs half-bath and laundry closet, enhanced by recent laminate flooring and fresh paint.
Proven Rental Income Potential: With a history of being a 'very good rental for several years,' this property presents a strong investment opportunity.
Prime Commuter Location: Strategically located right off the 805 freeway and Main Street, providing excellent accessibility and convenience for commuters.
Desirable Community Amenity View: The master bedroom balcony offers a pleasant view overlooking the community pool, adding to the lifestyle appeal.
Good School Proximity & Ratings: Located near well-rated public schools (K-12) with ratings of 5 and 6, making it attractive for families.
Cons
Tenant Occupancy Constraint: The current tenant lease extends until March 31st, which may delay immediate occupancy for owner-users, despite potential for negotiation.
Property Age: Built in 1980, the property is over 40 years old, which could imply potential for aging infrastructure or higher long-term maintenance costs compared to newer constructions.
Monthly Association Fee: The $400 monthly association fee represents a significant recurring expense that adds to the overall cost of ownership.
