Condition Analysis

Excellent
TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Jack L. Weaver Elementary School (9/10). High School: Los Alamitos High School (9/10).
- Prime Coastal Location
Situated in the highly desirable 'The Hill' neighborhood, the property is walking distance to award-winning Los Alamitos schools and the charming shops and restaurants of Main Street.
- Turnkey Condition
The home features recent 2026 interior refreshes, including new paint, carpet, and hardware, alongside a two-year-old roof and remodeled kitchen and bathrooms.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Price Per Square Foot
With only 1,195 square feet of living space at a $1.84M price point, the value is heavily weighted in the land and location rather than the existing structure's size.
- Lack of Immediate Views
Despite the coastal proximity, the current single-story configuration offers no views, requiring additional investment in vertical expansion to realize the area's scenic potential.
