Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this condo is 44 years old. The kitchen features significantly outdated white appliances (including a coil-top electric range), laminate countertops, and basic white cabinets with dated hardware. The kitchen lighting is an old fluorescent box. The bathroom vanity and countertop also appear dated, though the faucet might be a minor update. While the property appears clean and well-maintained, its major components and finishes are functional but clearly show signs of being outdated, requiring minor to moderate updates to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Enhanced Security: Located within a gated community with roving security, offering residents increased peace of mind and a secure living environment.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as a 'charming and well maintained condo,' suggesting the property is in good condition and potentially move-in ready.
Private Outdoor Space: Features a spacious private patio, providing valuable outdoor living area for relaxation or entertaining, a desirable amenity for condo living.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located just minutes from downtown El Cajon with easy access to the 805 freeway, offering excellent connectivity and proximity to local amenities.
Community Amenities: The community offers convenient amenities, enhancing the lifestyle and value proposition for residents.
Cons
Significant Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $430 is a substantial recurring cost that can impact a buyer's overall budget and affordability.
Property Age: Built in 1980, the property's age may imply older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or finishes that could require future updates or maintenance, despite being well-maintained.
Condominium Living Constraints: As a condominium, it inherently involves shared walls, potential noise transfer, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may not appeal to all prospective buyers seeking more autonomy.
