About this home
This bright upstairs condo checks all the right boxes, no neighbors above, an open layout, and updates that make life easy. Fresh paint keeps everything light and move-in ready, while the private balcony (with its own laundry closet) is perfect for morning coffee or post-work unwinding. Big-ticket items are already handled. The AC and water heater were replaced in 2023, so you can skip the stress and enjoy the comfort. You’ll also get a one-car garage, extra parking, and the added peace of mind of a security-guarded gated community. The HOA is doing the most in the best way. It covers water, trash, sewer, security guard services, landscaping, the community pool, plus roof and exterior maintenance. Just minutes from the University of Redlands, this condo delivers comfort, convenience, and carefree living in a location that simply makes sense.
