PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • End-Unit Privacy

    As a corner unit with no neighbors above, this property offers superior natural light and a level of privacy and quiet rarely found in townhouse developments.

  • Resort-Style Amenities

    Membership to the Lake Forest Beach & Tennis Club provides an exceptional lifestyle package, including access to a lagoon, pools, gym, and multiple sports courts.

    The generous 1,414 square foot layout features a dedicated laundry room and a primary suite with an enclosed office space, ideal for remote professionals.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • High Association Fees

    The monthly HOA fee of $635 is relatively high and may impact the overall affordability and monthly carrying costs for some buyers.

  • Property Age

    Built in 1979, the home may require more frequent maintenance or future capital improvements compared to newer constructions in the area.

  • Elementary School Rating

    The assigned elementary school has a lower performance rating (3/10), which may be a concern for families prioritizing high-ranking educational districts.

About 22235 Vista Verde Drive

Privacy, light, and space take center stage in this corner-unit Vista Verde standout. With no one above you and an end-unit position that lets the light pour in, 22235 Vista Verde lives big across 1,414 square feet and two thoughtfully designed levels. Downstairs is all about easy flow and everyday comfort: tile floors underfoot, a spacious living room that opens to dining and kitchen, a convenient half bath, and a dedicated laundry room (because real life happens here). The kitchen checks all the right boxes with granite countertops and stainless steel Samsung appliances—ready for weeknight dinners or weekend hosting alike. Slide open the doors and the living space spills onto a private patio framed by mature trees. Morning coffee, evening BBQs, or a quiet moment with a book—this is your own little outdoor escape. Upstairs keeps things cozy and practical. Both bedrooms are thoughtfully tucked away, including a generous primary suite complete with a walk-in closet, dual-sink bath, and an enclosed office/work area that makes working from home feel like a perk, not a compromise. The second bedroom is spacious and bright, paired with a full hallway bath that’s perfect for guests or everyday use. And then there’s the lifestyle bonus: HOA perks include two parking spaces and all the benefits of a membership to the Lake Forest Beach & Tennis Club. Think pool days, spa nights, gym sessions, pickleball matches, tennis rallies, basketball games, and weekends by the lagoon—without ever leaving the neighborhood. Low-maintenance living, high-reward amenities, and a home that feels far more like a house than a townhome. Vista Verde may sound like a dream… but this one’s very real.
