Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1987, this condo has received significant cosmetic updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops, though the electric coil range is older and not a modern smooth-top. The bathroom is clean and functional, but the corner shower enclosure with a chrome frame appears dated. Throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, newer-looking light-colored laminate or vinyl plank flooring has been installed, and the walls have fresh paint. The property benefits from central air and an in-unit washer and dryer, indicating well-maintained systems. While not a full, recent high-end renovation, the updates are substantial enough to place it above 'Fair,' aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with minimal wear and tear and some components updated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
VA Approved & Move-in Ready: The property is explicitly VA-approved and presented as move-in ready, broadening its appeal to a significant buyer demographic and minimizing immediate renovation needs.
Key In-Unit Conveniences: Features central air conditioning and an in-unit washer and dryer, offering modern comfort and essential convenience for condo living.
Functional Layout & Private Outdoor Space: Boasts an open layout with ample natural light, generously sized bedrooms, a private primary bath, and a private balcony/patio, enhancing livability.
Strategic Location: Offers convenient access to shopping, dining, and major freeways, providing ease of daily living and commuting.
Well-Maintained Community: Located within a well-maintained community, suggesting a desirable living environment and potentially stable property values.
Cons
Compact Unit Size: At 874 square feet, the unit is relatively small for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive living space.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: Despite being described as 'low' in the listing, the $488 monthly HOA fee represents a considerable recurring expense that impacts overall affordability and buyer budget.
Building Age: Constructed in 1987, the building is approaching 40 years old, which could imply potential for future capital improvement assessments or increased maintenance costs for common areas.
