Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Renovation: The condo is fully remodeled and move-in ready, featuring new flooring, a remodeled kitchen with sleek cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, and tastefully upgraded bathrooms with modern finishes.
Prime Normal Heights Location: Situated in the heart of San Diego’s vibrant Normal Heights neighborhood, the property is just blocks from Adams Avenue’s popular cafes, shops, and nightlife, offering an unbeatable lifestyle.
Community Amenities: The property is part of a gated community that includes access to a pool and spa, enhancing the living experience and providing recreational options.
Energy-Efficient Windows: Equipped with brand-new dual-pane windows, the unit benefits from abundant natural light, improved insulation, and potential energy savings.
Turnkey Condition: Described as a 'turnkey home,' it offers immediate occupancy without the need for further renovations or updates, appealing to buyers seeking convenience.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $503.0 is a significant recurring monthly expense that adds to the overall cost of ownership.
No Designated View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas, especially in a desirable San Diego location.
Compact Square Footage: With 858 sqft for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, the living space is relatively compact, which might limit appeal for some buyers or families requiring more room.
