Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1993, this property features an upgraded kitchen with granite countertops and tile flooring, and an updated primary bathroom with modern tile finishes and dual sinks. The overall condition is move-in ready and well-maintained, with contemporary dark wood-look flooring throughout. While the kitchen appliances (white refrigerator, range, and dishwasher) appear older and do not match the stainless steel microwave, and the bathroom light fixture is somewhat dated, these are minor detractions from an otherwise well-updated and functional home. The significant upgrades in key areas justify a 'Good' rating, indicating no immediate renovations are required.

Resort-Style Community Amenities: The property is part of a community offering an extensive array of amenities including multiple pools, spas, a lap pool, BBQ areas, sports courts, a fitness center, clubhouses, ponds, and playgrounds, providing a comprehensive lifestyle.
Highly Acclaimed School District: Located within the Poway Unified School District, known for its high ratings, which is a significant draw for families and contributes to long-term property value.

Convenient Ground-Level Unit with In-Unit Laundry: As a ground-level unit, it offers easy access, and the inclusion of in-unit laundry adds significant convenience and appeal.
Exceptional Privacy & Prime Community Location: The unit boasts exceptional privacy while being uniquely located just steps from a community pool and a smaller clubhouse, blending seclusion with immediate access to amenities.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $686.09 per month is substantial and adds a significant ongoing cost to homeownership, potentially impacting affordability and buyer interest.
Absence of Mentioned Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a significant comfort concern and potential upgrade cost for buyers, especially during warmer periods in San Diego.
Condominium Ownership Limitations: As a condominium, ownership entails shared walls, potential noise transfer, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may limit personal modifications or lifestyle choices compared to a single-family home.
