The Best Kept Secret in 90042. In the hills above Debs' Park, awe-inspiring views of the San Gabriel mountains, park-like green spaces and miles of paths perfect for socializing with your dog on a Spring evening await. Monterey Hills is a hidden gem and one of the best kept secrets in Northeast LA. Located moments from the hustle and bustle of the Figueroa corridor in Highland Park as well as the bucolic small-town vibes of South Pasadena, the neighborhood provides all the conveniences of city living with the quiet and peace that comes with being surrounded by nature. Unit 108A in the Eaton Crest building stands out among the rest in ways big and small. Featuring two light-filled bedrooms, two full updated baths and a modern kitchen with all the amenities, generous room for dining and living and huge closets along with in-unit laundry. The real story of this special home is the over 180 sq ft. patio that creates indoor/outdoor flow that will make you forget you have neighbors. An ingenious green wall of custom installed Powderpuff trees provides privacy while still letting in tons of light. The L-shaped patio allows for multiple outdoor living spaces so you can choose between quiet afternoons reading in the sun or evening cocktails under the stars. A community pool, hot tub and recreation space round out the offerings at this well maintained and quiet enclave of serenity. Guest parking lot and ample street parking.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $653.90 is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, potentially impacting affordability.
Age of Building: Built in 1981, the property is over 40 years old, which may lead to concerns about aging infrastructure, potential for special assessments, or higher maintenance costs compared to newer constructions.
Condominium Living Limitations: As a condominium, the property comes with inherent limitations such as shared walls, potential noise from neighbors, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking full autonomy.
