About this home
We found 3 Cons,5 Pros.
Great investment or first-time homebuyer property. The price is affordable, security gated community, and a community swimming pool. Walking distance to the elementary school, shopping and the Junior High School. Very centrally located. The property is kept really nice inside. There is central air conditioning to help beat the heat of the desert.

Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained and clean, as noted in the description. However, the images reveal significantly outdated interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, white coil-top appliances, and a fluorescent ceiling light. The bathrooms also show older vanities, laminate counters, and dated light fixtures. Flooring consists of older carpet and linoleum/tile. While functional and kept nice, these areas would require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for a property built over 20 years ago with no major recent renovations.

Cons
Low School Ratings: The nearby elementary (rating 2) and middle schools (rating 1) have low ratings, which could be a concern for families prioritizing school quality.
