Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & School Access: Situated on a premium corner lot, the home is steps away from top-rated Irvine Unified schools (Solis K-8 and Portola High) and offers excellent access to major freeways (I-5, 405, 241, 133, 73).
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents enjoy world-class amenities within the Orange County Great Park, including the Ice Arena, Sports Complex, and Amphitheater, plus exclusive community features like 5 parks, multiple pools, spas, and sports courts.
Modern Construction & High-End Finishes: Built in 2021 by Lennar, the property boasts contemporary design with premium upgrades such as bamboo wood flooring, LED recessed lighting, quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, and all stainless-steel appliances.
Functional Floor Plan & Features: The layout includes a highly desirable main-level bedroom and bathroom, a private second-floor deck, a private front porch, and an attached 2-car garage, enhancing convenience and livability.
Enhanced Privacy & Views: The corner lot position ensures no homes directly in front, providing increased privacy, complemented by pleasant hills views.

Cons

Condominium Ownership: As a condominium, the property involves shared walls and common areas, which may not appeal to buyers seeking the independence and larger private land of a detached single-family home.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a significant price reduction from its original list price of $1.75M to $1.599M, which could suggest initial overpricing or a need to attract more buyer interest in the current market.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: Despite a private deck and front porch, the nature of condominium living typically means minimal private yard space, which could be a drawback for buyers desiring a larger personal outdoor area for recreation or gardening.
