Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1964, this condo is 60 years old and the description explicitly states it 'could benefit from some TLC' and is 'ready for a personal touch,' indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The property analysis also highlights 'Condition Requires Investment' and 'Older Construction,' suggesting outdated systems and finishes. While not unlivable, the age and stated need for significant work place it firmly in the 'Poor' category, requiring major updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and other components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
Affordable Price Point: Listed at $180,000, this condo offers a highly competitive entry point into the California real estate market, especially after a recent price reduction from $199,000.
Strategic Location: Conveniently located near the 210 freeway, providing quick access to major transportation routes, grocery stores, dining, and other essential amenities.
Value-Add Opportunity: Described as 'ready for a personal touch' and an 'opportunity for a homeowner or investor to add value,' it presents significant potential for customization and appreciation through renovation.
Gated Parking: The inclusion of gated parking enhances security and provides a convenient, protected space for residents' vehicles.
End-Unit Advantage: As an end-unit, the property typically benefits from fewer shared walls, offering increased privacy and potentially more natural light compared to interior units.
Cons
Condition Requires Investment: The property 'could benefit from some TLC' and is 'ready for a personal touch,' indicating that immediate renovation and capital expenditure will be necessary for modernization and optimal living.
Older Construction: Built in 1964, the property's age suggests potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical) and finishes, which could lead to higher maintenance costs or the need for significant upgrades.
Limited Living Space: With only 613 square feet, the 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout offers limited living space, which may not suit individuals requiring more room or couples.
