Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1988, this property is 36 years old. While it features recent updates such as new laminate flooring throughout and a modern bathroom vanity with a new sink and backsplash, other elements show its age. The ceilings have an outdated popcorn texture, and the shower enclosure appears older. The kitchen, though not fully visible, likely has some original or older components, despite the visible updated countertop at the pass-through. It is well-maintained and move-in ready, but would benefit from further minor updates to achieve a more contemporary feel, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom shower area.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: The condominium boasts a central location with easy access to the 210 & 2 freeways, and is minutes from downtown Montrose, offering a vibrant selection of shops and restaurants.
Top-Rated School District: Located within the highly desirable Glendale Unified School District, including Crescenta Valley High School, Rosemont Middle School, and a blue ribbon Elementary School, making it attractive to families.
Desirable Unit Features: The unit offers high ceilings throughout, an open living and dining area with a fireplace, a private patio, and in-unit washer and dryer, enhancing comfort and convenience.
Secure Parking & Building: The building provides security gates and two gated garage parking spaces, offering peace of mind and valuable amenities in a dense urban area.
Mountain Views: The property features desirable mountain views, adding aesthetic appeal and a sense of tranquility to the living environment.
Cons
Limited Market Appeal (1-Bedroom): As a 1-bedroom condominium, its market appeal is inherently limited, primarily targeting singles or couples without children, which can affect the potential buyer pool and resale velocity.
Significant Monthly Association Fees: The $371 monthly association fee represents a notable recurring cost that can impact affordability and overall ownership expenses, especially for a smaller unit.
Building Age & Potential for Future Costs: Built in 1988, the building is over 35 years old. While well-maintained, older structures can incur higher maintenance costs or necessitate special assessments for major repairs in the future, which may not be fully covered by current HOA fees.
