Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985 (39 years old), the property is well-maintained but reflects its age with dated oak cabinetry in the kitchen and older mirrored closet doors. While the bathroom has been updated with a step-in shower and the unit is move-in ready, the overall aesthetic and original systems typical of this age group fall into the fair category, needing minor cosmetic updates to be considered modern.
Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).

The residence features a desirable southeastern exposure and large windows that flood the open-concept living area with morning sun while offering panoramic hillside vistas.
The monthly HOA fee of $4,753 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing financial commitment that may exceed the budget of many potential buyers.
As a specialized 60+ independent living community, the property is limited to a niche demographic, which can result in a longer sales cycle and limited resale liquidity.
