Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1995, making it 29 years old, which aligns with the 'Fair' category's age range (built over 20 years ago, or 25-40 years with no major renovations). While the home is well-maintained and appears move-in ready, the MLS listing notes an 'Absence of Noted Recent Upgrades.' The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, but the light wood shaker cabinets and overall style are dated from its original construction era. The bathroom appears to have a more contemporary vanity and lighting, suggesting some updates, but not a full, extensive renovation. The flooring (laminate/engineered wood, carpet, tile) is clean and functional. Overall, the property is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, with major components being functional but showing signs of being outdated in style, requiring minor updates for a modern aesthetic.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Marengo Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: South Pasadena Middle School (9/10). High School: South Pasadena Senior High School (9/10).
Prime Alhambra Location: The property is situated in Alhambra, a desirable city in the San Gabriel Valley known for its vibrant community, diverse amenities, and convenient access to major freeways.
Functional Layout: With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 1414 sqft, the condominium offers a practical and spacious layout, providing ample living space and privacy for residents.
Proximity to Top-Rated Schools: The property is located near highly-rated public schools, including Alhambra High School (7/10 rating, 0.41 miles) and Martha Baldwin Elementary School (8/10 rating, 0.98 miles), making it attractive for families.
Relatively Modern Construction: Built in 1995, the property benefits from more contemporary construction standards and design compared to older homes in the area, potentially requiring less immediate maintenance related to aging infrastructure.
Pleasant Natural Views: The property offers pleasant views of the 'Neighborhood, Trees/Woods,' providing a serene and aesthetically appealing environment from within the unit.
Cons
Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $200 adds to the recurring cost of homeownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Condominium Ownership Limitations: As a condominium, ownership comes with shared walls, potential noise from neighbors, and adherence to Homeowners Association (HOA) rules and regulations, which may restrict personal modifications or outdoor space usage.
Absence of Noted Recent Upgrades: The property details do not specify any recent significant renovations or luxury finishes, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking a move-in ready home with updated interiors.
