More Insights

Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1986, this property has undergone updates, but the style of these renovations appears to be 15-25 years old rather than recent. The kitchen features white appliances, black granite countertops, and an older cabinet style, while the main living areas have dated white square tile flooring. Bathrooms are clean and functional with updated tile and vanities, but their aesthetic is not contemporary. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the home shows clear signs of being outdated in several key areas, requiring significant aesthetic updates to meet current standards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Community Amenities: Residents enjoy access to 7 tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts, a fitness facility, 15 pools and spas, a seasonal tennis pro, and a clubhouse, catering to an active and social lifestyle.
Comprehensive HOA & Low-Maintenance Living: The HOA dues cover roof and exterior maintenance, cable TV, internet, tennis, pickleball, trash removal, and security, offering a truly maintenance-free and convenient lifestyle.
Prime Location & Views: The property is ideally situated steps from a semi-private pool, near the community's back gate for easy access, and offers unobstructed mountain views. It's also minutes from El Paseo's shopping, dining, and golf.
Updated Interior & Desirable Features: The residence boasts a beautifully updated interior with an open floor plan, soaring ceilings, a cozy fireplace, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and modern appliances, and modern bathrooms.
Private Outdoor Spaces: Features include a private courtyard and a spacious back patio with a Permawood cover, providing year-round shade and a tranquil setting to enjoy the mountain views.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $879.00 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost that could impact affordability for some buyers.
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 1070 square feet, the property offers relatively compact living spaces for a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit, which may not appeal to buyers seeking more expansive desert residences.
Age of Core Infrastructure: While beautifully updated, the property was built in 1986, meaning the underlying plumbing, electrical, and other core systems are older and may eventually require maintenance or upgrades not covered by the HOA.
