Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Remodel: The townhome has been beautifully and tastefully redone with high-end finishes, including new luxury vinyl flooring, carpet, updated bathrooms with quartz countertops and new fixtures, and a modern kitchen with white cabinets and quartz countertops.
Prime Walkable Location: Exceptional walkability to key attractions including the beach, nearby wharf, Westcliff Drive, UCSC, and downtown Santa Cruz with its restaurants, theaters, and farmers markets.
Peaceful Natural Setting: Tucked away in nature at Shelter Lagoon, the property offers a serene environment with surrounding wildlife, waterways, and floating docks, providing a peaceful retreat.
Optimized Layout & Natural Light: The home features abundant natural light and a reverse floor plan specifically designed to maximize enjoyment of the beautiful trees and lush grounds.
Pleasant Views & Outdoor Access: Enjoy park/greenbelt views and easy access to nearby walking paths, waterways, and floating docks, enhancing the outdoor living experience.

Cons

High Association Fee: The property carries a significant monthly association fee of $784.0, which adds substantially to the overall cost of ownership.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $942,000 to the current $884,000 suggest potential market resistance or an initial overpricing strategy.
Age of Building: Built in 1974, the building is 50 years old. While the interior is remodeled, the age of the overall structure and common systems may lead to future maintenance concerns or special assessments within the condominium association.
