Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1985, this condo shows signs of good general maintenance and some updates, such as the laminate/LVP flooring visible in the living room and bedroom. The exterior and community areas are well-kept. However, without images of the kitchen and bathroom, which are critical areas for condition assessment, it's difficult to confirm recent extensive renovations. Given the property's age (39 years), it's likely that while functional and clean, these key areas may be dated in style or features, aligning with the 'Fair' category where a home is aged but maintained with occasional updates, and major components are functional but may show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Strategically located with easy access to major freeways and a variety of shopping centers, offering excellent convenience for residents.
Gated Community: Situated within a quiet, gated community, providing enhanced security, privacy, and a peaceful living environment.
Low HOA Fees: Features a competitive monthly HOA fee of $290, which is attractive for condo ownership and helps manage living costs.
In-Unit Laundry: Includes convenient in-unit stacked laundry facilities, a highly desirable amenity that adds significant value and ease to daily living.
Assigned Parking: Comes with two assigned parking spaces, a valuable asset in a condominium community, ensuring hassle-free parking for residents.
Cons
Upstairs Unit: As an upstairs unit, it may present accessibility challenges for some buyers and could be subject to noise from neighbors below.
Compact Living Space: With 792 square feet, the living space is relatively compact, which might be a limitation for buyers seeking more expansive accommodations or for growing families.
Older Building Age: Built in 1985, the property is older, which could imply potential for aging systems or require future updates despite being well-maintained.
