Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1961, this unit has undergone significant updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features new appliances (stovetop and oven) and appears to have updated cabinets and countertops, despite a conflicting description about 'original mid-century tile counters' (the images show modern surfaces). The bathroom is fully renovated with contemporary fixtures, vanity, and tiling. New laminate vinyl flooring is present throughout. These extensive renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, align with the 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' criteria for a 'Good' rating, ensuring the property is functional and appealing without immediate renovation needs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Downtown Location: Located in the heart of Downtown Long Beach, offering excellent walkability and immediate proximity to shopping, dining, and entertainment, ideal for urban living.
Low & Inclusive HOA: Features a low HOA fee that conveniently includes water, trash, and hazard insurance, providing significant cost savings for the owner.
Secure Gated Community: The property is part of a gated community with secured intercom access, enhancing safety and peace of mind, along with an on-site laundry room and central courtyard.
Bright & Functional Interior: The top-floor unit benefits from abundant natural light, durable laminate vinyl flooring, a spacious layout with ample built-in storage, and a new stovetop and oven.
Top-Floor Advantage: Being a top-floor unit typically offers reduced noise from neighbors above and potentially better light and privacy compared to lower units.
Cons
Building Age: Built in 1961, the building is over 60 years old, which may imply older infrastructure and potential for future maintenance concerns not covered by the HOA, despite unit updates.
Compact Size: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit at 604 sqft, its compact size limits appeal to a specific buyer demographic (singles or couples) and may not suit those needing more space.
Original Kitchen Elements: While in 'excellent condition,' the kitchen's original mid-century tile counters may be considered dated by some buyers seeking fully modernized aesthetics, potentially requiring future renovation.
