Built in 2005, this property is 19 years old and is in move-in ready condition. Key systems like the AC (2 years old) and tankless water heater are recently updated, indicating good maintenance. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom pull-out pantry drawers, while bathrooms also have granite counters. Although the cabinet styles and some light fixtures reflect the home's original build era rather than a recent full renovation, all components are functional, clean, and well-maintained, requiring no immediate updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11761, living area = 1590.
Gated 55+ Community & Amenities: Located in Paradise Springs, a secure 55+ gated community offering a clubhouse with a pool, two spas, billiards, and a gym, catering specifically to an active adult lifestyle.
Large, Private & Landscaped Backyard: Features an expansive 11,000+ sqft lot with a large covered patio, an east-facing backyard oasis including 5 fruit trees, a lawn, and desert plants, ideal for outdoor living and relaxation.
Modern & Updated Home Systems: Equipped with a 2-year-old AC unit, a tankless water heater, and a whole-house water softener with an R/O drinking water system, ensuring comfort and efficiency.
Low Homeowners Association Dues: Benefits from remarkably low HOA dues of $162/month, providing access to community amenities without a significant recurring cost.
Desirable Location & Views: Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with mountain views, offering a peaceful living environment within the community and proximity to Palm Springs attractions.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community: The 55+ age restriction significantly narrows the potential buyer pool, which could impact market demand and resale liquidity compared to unrestricted properties.
Subpar Local School Ratings: Nearby public schools, particularly the middle school (rated 2) and high school (rated 3), have lower ratings which, while not directly impacting 55+ residents, can affect overall neighborhood desirability and future property value appreciation.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from the original list price may indicate a longer time on market or an initial overestimation of value, potentially signaling a need for further negotiation.
