Highly Desirable Location with Top Schools: Ideally located in a sought-after community near award-winning Capistrano Unified schools, Tijeras Creek Golf Course, dining, shopping, and major commuting routes, offering convenience and strong educational opportunities.

Cons

Significant Monthly Association Fees: The $425 monthly HOA fee is a notable recurring expense that adds to the overall cost of homeownership, despite covering extensive community amenities and exterior maintenance.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original listing price may suggest initial overvaluation or a slower market response, potentially impacting buyer perception of value.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Southern California and may require future investment for installation.
