Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1990, this condominium has undergone significant updates that place it firmly in 'Good' condition. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave, electric range, dishwasher) and recessed lighting, though the wood cabinets and speckled countertops, while clean and functional, suggest an update that is likely 5-15 years old rather than brand new. The main living areas boast attractive hardwood flooring, and the bedrooms are carpeted and appear well-maintained. A major positive is the inclusion of two modern mini-split systems for efficient cooling and heating, along with contemporary ceiling fans throughout. While no direct bathroom images are provided, the overall condition of the visible areas suggests a well-maintained unit that is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The property aligns with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years, with systems well-maintained and minimal wear and tear.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: La Jolla Elementary School (9/10).
Unbeatable La Jolla Village Location: Directly in the heart of La Jolla Village, offering unparalleled walkability to high-end restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, and coastal attractions.
Iconic Ocean & Coastal Views: Features 'quintessential La Jolla coastal views' including the Pacific Ocean, La Valencia Hotel, and Coast Walk, enhancing desirability and value.
Modern Amenities & Open Concept: Boasts an open-concept living space, stainless steel kitchen appliances, in-unit laundry, and efficient mini-split cooling/heating systems.
Abundant Natural Light & Private Patio: Large windows throughout ensure ample natural sunlight, complemented by a private common patio/garden space with ficus trees for privacy.
Proximity to Highly-Rated Schools: Located within a short distance of top-rated public schools (La Jolla Elementary, Muirlands Middle, La Jolla High), a significant draw for families.

Cons

Single Bathroom for Two Bedrooms: The presence of only one bathroom for a two-bedroom unit can be a significant functional limitation and a deterrent for many potential buyers.
Compact Size & High Price Point: At 723 sqft, the unit offers limited living space, which, combined with a $1.299 million list price, presents a high price per square foot and may not appeal to those seeking more spacious accommodations.
Substantial Monthly HOA Fees: The $639.0 monthly association fee is considerable and adds a significant ongoing cost to ownership, potentially impacting affordability and long-term investment value.
