Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1971, this condo shows its age through its dated interior finishes. The kitchen features light wood cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, black appliances, and linoleum flooring, all indicative of an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago). The bathroom also presents an older style with its vanity and tub/sliding glass door combo. While the property appears clean and well-maintained with relatively new-looking carpet, the overall aesthetic, including the wall-mounted AC unit, is significantly outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations. Major components are functional but show clear signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Downtown Location: The condo offers unparalleled access to downtown Walnut Creek's vibrant amenities, including restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, providing a highly desirable urban lifestyle.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Residents benefit from extensive on-site facilities such as five pools, a sauna, a gym, and a clubhouse with pool tables, creating a comprehensive recreational and social environment.
Low-Maintenance Living: The property is explicitly marketed as low-maintenance, appealing to buyers seeking convenience and minimal upkeep responsibilities.
Desirable Park/Greenbelt View: The unit features a pleasant park/greenbelt view, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a tranquil outlook.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: The property is located within a district offering access to several well-regarded public schools, which can be a strong draw for families and contribute to long-term value.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $573.0 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly increasing the overall cost of ownership and potentially impacting affordability.
Limited Living Space: As a 1-bedroom, 695 sqft condo, the living space is relatively small, limiting its appeal to a niche market (singles or couples) and offering less flexibility for future needs.
Age of Building: Built in 1971, the building is over 50 years old, which may suggest older infrastructure, potential for future special assessments, or less modern design/energy efficiency compared to newer constructions.
