More Insights

Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1991, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features updated white cabinets with modern black hardware and light plank flooring, though the white appliances and laminate countertops appear older. The master bathroom is clean and functional but shows a dated style with gold-toned shower framing and older tile. The powder room, however, appears more recently updated with a modern pedestal sink and fixtures. Carpeting throughout the living areas and bedroom is clean. Overall, the unit presents as a well-kept home with some recent cosmetic updates, fitting the 'Good' category for its functional condition and lack of deferred maintenance.

About this home

Smith Ranch 55+ Independent Living Community is one of a kind. Gorgeous and serene south facing ground patio level, this 1 bedroom/1.5 bathroom will strike you the moment you open the door with its natural light and the view of greenery beyond its patio doors. This floor plan (plan 2) offers larger living and bedroom spaces compared to the 1 bed/1 bath version. There is a dedicated dining area that flows into the living room where there is a fireplace to cozy up to in winter. However, the private patio might become the gem of this condo as there is no one on the right side of you and the views are lovely. A stacked W/D, an extra storage room and easy access to the clubhouse and short term parking make this ideal. Pets are welcome too. Monthly HOA is $3026/mo and meal plan is $1102/mo. Feel safe and pampered with a 24-hour gated entrance, weekly housekeeping, 5 star dining with 2 restaurants and a full bar lounge, wellness & fitness centers, a pool, hot tub, art studio, valet services, hair salon, mailroom, garden boxes, putting green, bocce, a library and a monthly calendar full of events to participate in. Come live a vibrant life at Smith Ranch!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).
Comprehensive Luxury Amenities: Offers an unparalleled independent living experience with 24-hour gated security, weekly housekeeping, 5-star dining, wellness/fitness centers, pool, hot tub, art studio, valet, and a rich activity calendar.
Prime Unit Location & Features: South-facing, ground-level unit boasting abundant natural light, serene green views from a private patio, a cozy fireplace, in-unit laundry, and extra storage.
Enhanced Floor Plan: This 'Plan 2' layout provides notably larger living and bedroom spaces compared to standard 1-bedroom units, maximizing comfort.
Pet-Friendly Environment: The community's welcoming stance towards pets broadens its appeal to a significant segment of the 55+ demographic.
Exceptional Convenience: Direct access to the clubhouse and short-term parking enhances daily ease and accessibility for residents.

Cons

Substantial Monthly Costs: The combined HOA ($3026/mo) and mandatory meal plan ($1102/mo) result in a very high monthly expenditure of $4128, posing a significant financial barrier.
Age-Restricted Community: Being a 55+ independent living community inherently limits the potential buyer pool, which can affect market demand and future resale opportunities.
Compact Living Space: While optimized for a 1-bedroom, the 872 sqft size and single bedroom/1.5 bath configuration may be perceived as restrictive for some buyers, especially given the high monthly fees.
