Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1990, is 34 years old and appears to have had no significant renovations since construction. The kitchen features dated terracotta tile countertops, older white cabinets with dated hardware, and a mix of older black and white appliances. Bathrooms also show signs of age with outdated light fixtures, basic vanities, and older tile work. While the property seems well-maintained and functional, it requires minor updates to modernize the aesthetics and bring the kitchen and bathrooms up to current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Gated Community: The property is situated within a serene, gated community (Sunshine Terrace), offering enhanced security and a sense of exclusivity.
Low HOA Fees: Features attractively low Homeowners Association fees, which contributes to lower monthly ownership costs and increased affordability.
Broad Market Appeal: Explicitly positioned as an ideal choice for first-time buyers or investors, indicating strong marketability and potential for rental income.
Functional Layout: Offers a practical 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, which is a highly sought-after and versatile layout for various demographics.
Proximity to Schools: Conveniently located near multiple schools, including a highly-rated high school (Grossmont High, rating 7) and a middle school within walking distance.
Cons
Limited Square Footage: At 850 sqft, the living space is relatively compact for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, which might be a constraint for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Aging Infrastructure: Built in 1990, the property's systems and finishes may be original or dated, potentially requiring future maintenance, upgrades, or renovations.
Mixed School Ratings: While some schools are close, the elementary school has a low rating (2), which could be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
