Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1975, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age and outdated styles. The 'fresh white kitchen' appears to be painted original cabinets with dated tiled countertops and older appliances (except for a newer refrigerator). Bathrooms feature dated vanities, gold-tone fixtures, and old shower enclosures. Flooring is a mix of laminate and carpet, and light fixtures are generally outdated. While functional and clean, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and overall aesthetic to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Pros

Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from an unparalleled array of resort-style amenities including multiple golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, pools, fitness centers, and over 200 social clubs, fostering an active lifestyle.
Desirable 55+ Community: Located within Laguna Woods Village, a highly sought-after and recreation-rich 55+ community, appealing to a specific demographic seeking an active and engaging retirement.
Optimal Unit Positioning: As a corner unit with no one below and situated above the carport, the property offers enhanced privacy and convenient access.
Updated Kitchen: The interior features a light and bright space with a fresh white kitchen that seamlessly opens into the living area, providing a modern aesthetic.
Enclosed Balcony: A private enclosed balcony offers a peaceful retreat, perfect for relaxation, reading, or enjoying morning coffee.

Cons

55+ Community Restriction: The age-restricted nature of the community (55+) significantly narrows the potential buyer pool, which could impact resale marketability.
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $855 is substantial and could be a deterrent for some buyers, despite the extensive amenities it covers.
Age of Property: Built in 1975, the property may have original components beyond the kitchen, potentially requiring future updates or maintenance.
