Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. While some cosmetic updates like laminate flooring and paint have been applied in bedrooms, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen features very old dark wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and basic white tile flooring, with no visible modern appliances. The bathroom also presents with a dated yellow vanity, old tile, and an older light fixture. Popcorn ceilings are present throughout. These critical areas require substantial rehabilitation and renovation to meet current quality and aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
VA Loan Eligibility: The property is explicitly VA approved, significantly broadening the buyer pool to include veterans and potentially simplifying financing for eligible individuals.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wide array of amenities including two swimming pools, a hot tub, two tennis courts, a volleyball court, dog areas, and a playground, enhancing lifestyle and recreational opportunities.
Desirable Location & Accessibility: Situated in a 'great location' with convenient access to shopping centers, golf courses, various recreational trails (hiking, biking, horse), parks, dog parks, and major freeways.
Enhanced Privacy & Greenbelt View: As an end unit, the property offers increased privacy and features a pleasant view of a greenbelt, contributing to a more serene living environment.
Strong School Access: The property is located near highly-rated schools, including Valley Vista Elementary School (rating 5) just 0.7 miles away and Bonita Vista Senior High School (rating 8), appealing to families.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1973, the property is over 50 years old, which may imply dated systems, finishes, and potential for higher maintenance or renovation costs compared to newer constructions.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $475.0 monthly association fee is substantial and represents a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability and deter some potential buyers.
Recent Price Reduction: A notable price reduction of $60,000 from the original list price ($635,000 to $575,000) could suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially raising questions for prospective buyers.
