Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1968, this condo has undergone significant and tasteful updates, making it move-in ready. The bathroom has been recently and tastefully renovated with modern fixtures and tiling. The unit features new-looking laminate flooring throughout, fresh paint, recessed lighting, and modern stainless steel kitchen appliances (refrigerator and range). While the kitchen cabinets appear to be older units that have been painted white, and the building's common areas show their age, the interior of the unit itself presents as well-maintained with recent updates that align with a 'Good' condition score, indicating a renovation within the last 5-15 years for key components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Central Location: The condo boasts an excellent central location in Chula Vista, offering immediate access to Scripps Hospital, military bases, shopping, major freeways, and popular dining/entertainment on Third Avenue.
Move-in Ready & Updated: Recently painted, includes all appliances, and features a tastefully updated bathroom, making it immediately habitable with minimal upfront effort or expense for the buyer.
VA-Approved Complex: Being located in a VA-approved complex significantly broadens the potential buyer pool, particularly appealing to veterans and active military personnel seeking financing options.
Private Balcony & Assigned Parking: The unit includes a private balcony for outdoor enjoyment and a dedicated assigned parking space, which are valuable amenities for condo living.
Building Accessibility: The complex features an elevator, enhancing accessibility and convenience for residents, especially those on upper floors or with mobility considerations.
Cons
Building Age: Constructed in 1968, the building's age may imply potential for older infrastructure or higher HOA maintenance costs for common elements over time.
Community Laundry: The presence of community laundry instead of in-unit facilities can be a drawback for buyers prioritizing personal convenience and privacy.
Limited Unit Size: With 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and 700 sqft, the unit offers limited living space, primarily appealing to single occupants or couples and potentially restricting long-term growth.
