Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984, this 40-year-old property is clean and functional but remains largely in its original state. While the flooring and refrigerator have been updated, the kitchen cabinets, electric range, and wall-mounted heating system are dated. It fits the 'Fair' category as it is over 20 years old and requires cosmetic modernization.
Ideally situated between Santa Cruz and Capitola, this property offers convenient access to shopping, healthcare, and the coastline within a desirable senior community.
Priced significantly below market rates due to the Measure J Housing Program, this condo represents a rare, low-cost entry point into the Santa Cruz real estate market.
