Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1964, this property is 60 years old. While the bathroom appears to have received a basic update (likely 15-25 years ago) with functional but simple finishes, the kitchen is significantly outdated with older appliances and cabinetry, suggesting it hasn't been renovated in 30+ years. The overall condition is functional and appears maintained, but the finishes are very dated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment & First-Time Buyer Appeal: Explicitly marketed as a 'Great Investment Opportunity' and 'perfect for first-time buyers or savvy investors,' targeting a broad and active buyer pool.
Strategic Location: Conveniently located near the 210 Freeway, offering quick access to transportation, grocery stores, restaurants, and other essential amenities.
Affordable Price Point: With a list price of $289,000, it represents a relatively accessible entry point into the California real estate market for a condominium.
End Unit Advantage: Being an end unit, it typically offers more privacy, fewer shared walls, and potentially more natural light compared to interior units.
Quiet Complex Environment: The property is situated in a 'quiet complex,' which is a desirable feature for residents seeking a peaceful living environment.
Cons
Compact Unit Size: At only 596 sqft, the 1 bed, 1 bath unit is quite small, which may limit its appeal to individuals or couples without extensive space requirements.
Building Age: Built in 1964, the building is 60 years old, which could imply potential for older infrastructure, systems, or common area maintenance needs.
Significant Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $374.0 is relatively high for a 1-bedroom unit, adding a substantial recurring cost to ownership.
