Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1979, making it 45 years old. While it appears well-maintained and has undergone renovations, the style of the kitchen (light wood cabinetry, speckled granite, specific blue backsplash, older stainless steel appliances) and bathrooms (similar cabinetry and granite, jetted tub) suggests these updates were likely completed 15-25 years ago. The home is functional and move-in ready, but the aesthetic elements in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms are dated by current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a property of its age with renovations in that timeframe.

Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: A substantial monthly association fee of $856.0 could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting overall affordability.
Building Age: Built in 1979, the property is over 40 years old. While updated, the age of the building structure and common areas may lead to higher maintenance costs or potential for future assessments.
Lower-Rated Elementary Schools: The nearby elementary schools, Horrall and Parkside, have lower ratings (2 and 4 respectively), which might be a deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier primary education.
