Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this condo is well-maintained but shows its age. While some updates like the hardwood laminate flooring and granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms are present, these renovations appear to be 15-25 years old, making them dated by current standards. The kitchen features older-style dark wood cabinets and dated fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms have similar older-style vanities, countertops, and light fixtures. The property is functional and livable but would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Coastal Proximity: Located in Costa Mesa, offering convenient access to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and major freeways, enhancing lifestyle and commute.
Generous Living Space: At 1282 sqft, this 2-bedroom condo provides a spacious footprint, uncommon for units of this bedroom count.
Multi-Level Floor Plan: The 2-story, 3-level layout creates distinct living zones, offering a sense of separation and privacy.
Desirable School District: Situated within the highly-regarded Newport Mesa Unified High School District, appealing to families.
Attractive Price Point: The current list price of $475,000, following recent adjustments, presents a competitive opportunity for entry into the Costa Mesa market.
Cons
Elevated Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $515 is notably high, potentially impacting affordability and overall cost of ownership.
Limited Bathroom Facilities: With 1.5 bathrooms for a 2-bedroom unit, it may not meet the needs or preferences of all prospective buyers.
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1980, the property is over four decades old, and the description does not indicate recent renovations, suggesting potential for future modernization expenses.
