Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1980, making it 44 years old. While the description mentions 'updated vinyl flooring,' the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, older black appliances, laminate countertops, and ceramic tile flooring, suggesting it has not been extensively renovated recently. The popcorn ceiling in the bedroom further indicates an older aesthetic. The home is functional and appears maintained, but the kitchen and likely the bathroom would require significant updates to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Updated Interior Features: The condo boasts updated vinyl flooring, providing a modern and low-maintenance aesthetic throughout the living space.
Excellent Community Amenities: Residents enjoy access to three community pools and a playground, offering significant recreational value and lifestyle benefits.
Prime Central Location: The property is centrally located with convenient access to shopping centers, the Lake Forest Golf Course, and the 5 Freeway, enhancing daily convenience and connectivity.
Functional Layout & Storage: An open living area combined with a spacious Primary bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet maximizes livability and storage efficiency.
Private Outdoor Space: The inclusion of a private patio offers a dedicated outdoor area for relaxation and personal enjoyment, a desirable feature for condo living.
Cons
High Association Fee: The association fee of $546.00 per month is relatively high for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly impacting the overall monthly cost of ownership.
Building Age: Built in 1980, the property is over 40 years old, which may imply older infrastructure or systems that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Limited Size and Configuration: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit with 685 sqft, its smaller size and configuration may limit its appeal to a broader market, primarily targeting singles or couples.
