TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984, this property is over 40 years old. While exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready with newer laminate flooring, the kitchen and bathrooms are dated, featuring white tile countertops and cabinetry styles consistent with a 20+ year old renovation. The property is functional but requires aesthetic and likely system updates to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
High School: Las Lomas High School (9/10).
- Exceptional Value HOA
