Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1987, this property is 37 years old. While the description mentions a 'custom kitchen with granite countertops and high-end appliances,' the visual evidence suggests these updates are not recent. The kitchen features traditional medium-toned wood cabinetry, speckled granite, a black refrigerator, and light-colored tile flooring, which are functional but appear to be from a renovation 15-25 years ago rather than within the last 15 years. Light fixtures throughout are also somewhat dated. The hardwood flooring in the living areas and bedroom is a positive. The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, but the kitchen and overall aesthetic show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a property of its age with older renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Upgraded Interior: The unit boasts a custom kitchen with granite countertops and high-end appliances, and is described as being in 'move-in condition', reducing immediate renovation needs for a buyer.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents have access to a clubhouse, BBQ area, pool, jacuzzi, and playground, offering a resort-like living experience and added value.
Strategic Location: The property is conveniently located near Imperial Beach and Coronado beaches, major thoroughfare Hwy 5, and the border, appealing to those seeking recreation and easy commuting.
Gated Community & Parking: Being in a gated community provides enhanced security, and the inclusion of a designated parking space with covered off-street guest parking offers significant convenience.
VA Approved: The property's VA approval significantly broadens the potential buyer pool, making it accessible to military personnel and veterans with favorable financing options.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 655 sqft with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, the unit offers limited living space, which may restrict its appeal to singles, couples, or investors rather than families.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The $385.0 monthly association fee is relatively high for a 1-bedroom condominium, adding a substantial recurring cost that impacts overall affordability and investment returns.
Building Age & Potential for Future Assessments: Built in 1987, the condominium complex is over 35 years old. While the unit is updated, the age of the overall building infrastructure could lead to higher maintenance costs or special assessments in the future.
