Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1978, making it 46 years old. While clean and well-maintained, the bathroom features a very dated tiled countertop and overall aesthetic, suggesting it's either original or from a renovation over 30 years ago. Popcorn ceilings are visible throughout. Although the living areas have updated laminate flooring and central air conditioning is present, the overall style and condition of key areas like the bathroom indicate that the property is functional but significantly outdated and would benefit from substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen (inferred) and bathrooms, to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Strategically located adjacent to the Shops at Rossmoor and within close proximity to highly-rated Los Alamitos elementary and middle schools, offering exceptional convenience and desirability for families.
Versatile Living Space: Includes a valuable bonus area/den/office, providing flexible space for various needs such as a home office, guest room, or additional living area.
End Unit Advantage: As an end unit, it typically offers more privacy, fewer shared walls, and potentially more natural light compared to interior units.
Key Amenities: Features a private 2-car garage with built-in storage and central air conditioning, enhancing comfort, convenience, and storage capacity.
HOA Inclusions & Community Features: HOA dues cover water and trash, reducing monthly utility costs, and provide access to desirable common areas including gated entries, laundry rooms, BBQ areas, and an in-ground spa.
Cons
High HOA Fees: The monthly association fee of $561 is relatively high, which could impact overall affordability and appeal to some buyers, despite inclusions.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only 1.5 bathrooms for a 2-bedroom unit, it may present practical challenges or be less desirable for multiple occupants or guests.
Price Reduction History: Multiple price reductions from the original list price suggest potential market resistance or initial overpricing, which could indicate a longer time on market or perceived value issues.
