Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1990, this property has undergone significant recent updates, making it largely move-in ready. The bathrooms are 'newly remodeled' with modern fixtures, including a freestanding tub, contemporary vanities, and large format tiles. Laminated wood flooring throughout the living areas appears new and well-maintained. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, though the tiled countertops and floor are somewhat dated. While the visible interior is updated, the property's age suggests that some major systems (e.g., HVAC, water heater) may be original and could require future attention, preventing an 'Excellent' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exclusive Community & Lake Access: Located in the beautiful Lake Shores Gated Community, offering enhanced security and direct access to the lake for recreational activities.
Extensive Resort-Style Amenities: Includes membership to the Lake Forest Beach & Tennis Club, providing access to multiple pools, various sports courts (tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball), a fitness center, and a beach/swim lagoon.
Modernized Interior & Practical Features: Boasts laminated wood flooring throughout and two newly remodeled bathrooms, complemented by an individual laundry room and two separate one-car garages.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Offers easy access to Freeways 5 and 405, Irvine Spectrum, major shopping centers, and diverse dining options, enhancing convenience for residents.
End Unit with Outdoor Space: As an upper-level end unit, it provides more privacy, natural light, and a large wrap-around balcony for outdoor enjoyment.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1308, other record living area = 1211.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The $513 monthly HOA fee, while inclusive of water, trash, and extensive amenities, represents a substantial recurring cost that may impact affordability for some buyers.
Upper-Level Access: Being an upper-level unit implies reliance on stairs for access, which could be a drawback for buyers with mobility concerns or those preferring ground-level entry.
Absence of Desirable Views & Building Age: The property lacks specific desirable views ('view:None') and, built in 1990, may have older original systems (beyond the remodeled bathrooms) that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite interior updates.
