Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1992, is well-maintained with good hardwood flooring in the main living areas and fresh paint throughout. However, the kitchen features original or very dated light wood cabinets, white appliances (except microwave), and white laminate countertops and tile, which are significantly outdated. Both bathrooms also show dated light wood vanities, white countertops, and original-looking tile work. While functional, these areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with functional but outdated major components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Luxury Retirement Living: The property is part of the Pacific Regent, a luxury retirement community specifically designed for individuals aged 62 and up, offering a tailored lifestyle.
Extensive On-Site Amenities: Residents benefit from a wide array of amenities including 24-hour security, a salon, library, fitness center, heated pool and spa, and meeting rooms for events.
Gourmet Dining & Room Service: The community provides gourmet restaurant-style dining and convenient room service, enhancing the luxury living experience.
Desirable San Diego Location: Located in University City, San Diego, a well-regarded area known for its amenities and accessibility.
Modern Construction Year: Built in 1992, the building is relatively modern, suggesting contemporary construction standards compared to older properties.
Cons
Age Restriction (62+): The community's age restriction to 62 and up significantly limits the potential buyer pool, narrowing market appeal.
Exorbitant Monthly HOA Fee: The monthly association fee of $3,725 is exceptionally high, adding a substantial recurring cost that will deter many prospective buyers.
Niche Market Appeal: The combination of the age restriction and the very high HOA fee creates a highly niche market, potentially leading to longer market times and fewer interested parties.
