Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1991, the property is over 30 years old. While the description mentions 'recently updated with laminate wood floors,' the images reveal a kitchen with dated white appliances and cabinetry, and bathrooms with cultured marble vanities and older tile work, suggesting these areas have not seen a major renovation in 15-30 years. The unit appears clean and functional, but the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated and would benefit from modernization.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Luxury Amenities: The Pacific Regent community offers an impressive array of amenities including 24-hour security, a salon, library, fitness center, heated pool/spa, gourmet dining, and room service, catering to a luxurious retirement lifestyle.
Prime La Jolla Location: Situated in the highly desirable La Jolla area of San Diego, offering prestige and access to a vibrant coastal community.
Recent Interior Updates: Features recently updated laminate wood floors, providing a modern and move-in ready interior.
Elevated Views: Positioned on the 5th floor with a patio and confirmed mountain views, enhancing the living experience.
Significant Price Adjustment: A substantial $100,000 price reduction from the original list price presents a more attractive value proposition for potential buyers.
Cons
Age-Restricted Community: The property is located within a 62+ retirement community, significantly narrowing the potential buyer pool and limiting broad market appeal.
Exorbitant HOA Fees: The monthly association fee of $3,581 is exceptionally high, adding a substantial recurring cost to homeownership.
Potential for Initial Overpricing: A $100,000 price drop from the original listing price suggests the property may have been initially overpriced, potentially indicating a longer market time or buyer hesitation.
