Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1982, this property has undergone significant and attractive interior renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, a stainless steel dishwasher, and recessed lighting, giving it a contemporary feel. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and lighting. Flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms is updated laminate wood, with tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, all appearing in good condition. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. However, the overall age of the building (42 years) and the noted absence of central air conditioning prevent an 'Excellent' rating, as some major systems may still be older and AC is a significant comfort factor in the region.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant Price Reduction & Buyer Incentives: A substantial $51,000 price improvement and seller willingness to consider an interest rate buy-down make this property highly attractive and financially accessible.
Gated Community with Resort-Style Amenities: Offers enhanced security, a pool, spa, and clubhouse, providing a desirable lifestyle without the maintenance burden.
Exceptional Walkability & Convenience: Located within walking distance to schools, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, employment, transit, parks, and recreational spots.
Upgraded Interior & Desirable Unit Features: Features an attractively upgraded open-galley kitchen, a cozy fireplace, and is a single-level, first-floor end unit with a large covered patio offering pool views.
Ample Parking & Private Laundry: Includes two assigned parking spaces (one covered) and a private laundry/storage room, adding significant convenience.

Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The $624.0 monthly HOA fee is considerably high, impacting overall affordability and potentially limiting the buyer pool.
Building Age & Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Constructed in 1982, the property is over 40 years old, which could raise concerns about aging building systems or the potential for future special assessments, despite interior upgrades.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Escondido.
