Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1980, making it 44 years old. While the listing mentions 'upgraded granite counter tops' and 'stainless steel appliances,' the images reveal that these updates, particularly the kitchen cabinets and mosaic tile backsplash, are likely 15-25 years old, not recent. The kitchen features a stainless steel refrigerator and an electric cooktop, but also a white dishwasher. The bathroom has an older style vanity, a basic light fixture, and a shower/tub combo with a curtain, indicating it has not undergone a recent modern renovation. The flooring consists of carpet in the living areas and bedrooms, and tile in the kitchen, with wood-look flooring in the bathroom. The property appears well-maintained but shows signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for a property built over 20 years ago with renovations between 15 to 30 years ago.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Resort-Style Community Amenities: The Pala Mesa community offers a comprehensive resort-like living experience with a clubhouse, golf course, community pool, and extensive walking grounds.
Exceptional Views: The property boasts direct golf course and mountain views from the balcony, providing a serene and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Strategic Location: Situated between Oceanside and Temecula with close proximity to freeways, offering excellent accessibility to diverse regional attractions and commuting routes.
Modern Interior Upgrades: The home features desirable interior upgrades including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, high ceilings, and quality flooring, contributing to a well-maintained and contemporary feel.
Convenient Lifestyle Features: Practical amenities such as in-unit laundry and a dedicated one-car garage enhance daily convenience and functionality for residents.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fees: The $603.0 monthly association fee is substantial for a 729 sqft condominium, which could significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and affordability.
Limited Living Space: With only 729 square feet and 1 bedroom/1 bathroom, the property offers compact living quarters that may not suit all buyers or those requiring more expansive space.
Property Age: Built in 1980, the property is over four decades old. While interior upgrades are present, the age of the building's core infrastructure may be a consideration for potential buyers.
