Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1971, features nicely remodeled kitchen and bathrooms with modern finishes like white cabinets, granite countertops, and updated appliances (though some are black, not stainless steel). The flooring is consistent wood-look laminate throughout. While cosmetically updated and move-in ready, the presence of wall-mounted heating/cooling units instead of a central HVAC system indicates an outdated major system. This, combined with the property's age, places it in the 'Fair' category, as major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, despite the interior renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Senior Living Amenities: Laguna Woods Village offers an unparalleled array of amenities including two professional golf courses, five pools, over 250 clubs, workshops, an equestrian center, theatre, and bus transportation, fostering a vibrant and active lifestyle.
Turnkey Remodeled Interior: The unit features beautifully remodeled kitchen and baths, providing modern aesthetics and functionality, making it move-in ready for new residents.
Optimal Accessibility & Privacy: Described as 'No Steps to Unit! No One Above! - End Unit', this property offers easy access, enhanced privacy, and abundant natural light throughout.
Inclusive HOA Benefits: The association fee covers essential utilities such as water, sewer, trash, and cable TV, simplifying monthly budgeting and reducing separate household expenses.
Prime South Orange County Location: Situated in desirable South Orange County, the property benefits from proximity to Laguna Beach, shopping malls, and a hospital, complemented by scenic views of hills, mountains, and trees.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community: The property is located within Laguna Woods Village, a 55+ senior living community, which significantly limits the eligible buyer pool and marketability.
Substantial Monthly Association Fee: The $855.00 monthly association fee, while comprehensive in its inclusions, represents a considerable ongoing expense that could be a deterrent for some potential buyers.
Potential for Outdated Infrastructure: Built in 1971, despite interior remodels, the property's age suggests that some original building systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, or lack of central cooling) may be older and could require future attention or upgrades.
