Built in 1995, this condo is well-maintained with new carpet throughout and laminate flooring in living areas. However, the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, white appliances, and an old fluorescent light fixture. Bathrooms also show original-style white tile countertops and fixtures. While functional, these key areas require significant cosmetic updates to meet modern standards, aligning with a property built over 20 years ago with no major renovations since construction.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The condo offers breathtaking hillside views, including city lights, hills, panoramic vistas, and trees/woods, significantly enhancing its appeal and living experience.
Gated Community & Amenities: Located within Hilltop Colony, a tranquil gated community with a staffed guard kiosk, offering enhanced security and access to a swimming pool, spa, BBQ area, children's playground, and common gathering spaces.
Spacious & Private Layout: Features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a thoughtful layout where bedrooms are separated and have individual bathroom access, providing excellent privacy. It also boasts two private entrances.
Convenient Location: Offers easy access to transportation and urban amenities, with close proximity to Downtown LA, Pasadena, Alhambra, Highland Park, and the USC Health Science Campus, ideal for commuters.
Practical Features & Parking: Includes desirable features such as in-unit laundry, a cozy fireplace, new carpet throughout, and two assigned tandem garage spaces with EV charging capability.

Cons

High Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $656.0 is a significant ongoing cost that buyers must consider, potentially impacting affordability and overall housing expenses.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The description mentions enjoying 'breezes' but does not specify a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a comfort concern during warmer months in Southern California.
Potential for Dated Interiors: Built in 1995, while new carpet is mentioned, the kitchen description (greenhouse window, pass-through) suggests it may not have undergone a recent, full modern renovation, potentially requiring updates to meet contemporary tastes.
