Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property is 62 years old, placing it well beyond the 30-year threshold for 'Poor' condition. The listing description lacks any mention of renovations to the kitchens, bathrooms, or critical systems (HVAC/Electric), suggesting the building is in largely original, dated condition and requires significant rehab.
