Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant cosmetic updates, including new wide-plank laminate flooring and fresh neutral paint throughout. However, it is 41 years old and retains several original features that show its age, most notably in the kitchen which features dated white cabinetry with wood pull-strips, white tile countertops, and a fluorescent light box. While the bathroom vanity has been modernized, the overall lack of a full contemporary renovation to the kitchen and lighting systems aligns with the fair condition criteria.
The community is gated and exceptionally pet-friendly with no breed or weight restrictions, making it a rare and highly desirable find for dog owners.
This property is FHA approved, facilitating easier financing for first-time buyers, and includes two dedicated parking spaces, which is a significant premium for a one-bedroom unit.
Residents enjoy access to the Santa Ana Riverbed trail and proximity to Mile Square Park, complemented by community features like a pool, two spas, and in-unit laundry hookups.
The monthly association fee of $575 is relatively high for a one-bedroom condo, which may impact the debt-to-income ratio and overall affordability for some buyers.
At 702 square feet, the living space is quite compact, which may limit furniture layouts and storage options for those transitioning from larger homes.
