Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1970, this unit is well-maintained and move-in ready but features dated aesthetics. The kitchen contains older white appliances and cabinetry rather than modern stainless steel, and the overall finishes in the bathroom and living areas reflect older renovation cycles (likely 15-30 years ago). While the building lobby is renovated, the unit itself shows signs of being aged with standard fixtures and finishes that do not meet current 'good' or 'excellent' quality standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Hermosa View Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
- Prime Coastal Location
Ideally situated across from the Hermosa/Manhattan green belt and just a block from Pier Avenue, offering exceptional walkability to the beach, dining, and local shops.
- Superior Parking Assets
The unit includes two assigned parking spaces in a covered garage, a rare and highly valuable feature for a one-bedroom condominium in this high-demand beach community.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Association Fees
The monthly HOA fee of $692 is relatively high for a 579-square-foot unit, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
