Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. The images reveal a highly dated interior, particularly the bathroom with its yellow paint, older vanity, and basic fixtures, suggesting no significant renovations in the last 30-50 years. The presence of popcorn ceilings and older carpeting further indicates a need for substantial cosmetic rehabilitation throughout the home, including an assumed outdated kitchen (no images provided). While the exterior appears maintained, the interior requires extensive updates to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Exceptional Community Amenities: The community offers a wide array of facilities including two swimming pools, hot tubs, two tennis courts, meeting/party rooms, dog areas, a sand volleyball court, and a playground, enhancing lifestyle and value.
Prime Location with Abundant Local Conveniences: Situated steps from Plaza Bonita, a golf course, horse and hiking trails, a dog park, library, shopping centers, and major freeways, providing unparalleled convenience and recreational opportunities.
Enhanced Privacy and Greenbelt Views: As a corner unit facing a greenbelt, the property benefits from increased privacy and pleasant natural views.
Dedicated Parking and Private Outdoor Space: The property includes its own parking, an assigned space, and a private, fenced patio, offering practical benefits and personal outdoor enjoyment.
Strong School Ratings: Located in a district with well-rated elementary (5/10), middle (6/10), and high schools (8/10), appealing to families.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Property Age: Built in 1973, the property is over 50 years old, which may necessitate significant updates or maintenance to meet modern standards and preferences.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $475.00 monthly association fee is substantial and adds a considerable recurring cost to homeownership.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price drop from $574,900 to $539,900 could suggest a longer market time or that the initial pricing was too high, potentially impacting buyer perception.
