More Insights

Built in 1995 (31 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1995, is well-maintained and move-in ready. The exterior has seen recent updates (fencing 2024, paint 2022, landscaping 2023). The kitchen features granite countertops and newer stainless steel appliances, though the cabinet style and backsplash are somewhat dated. The guest bathroom has an updated vanity with granite, while the primary bathroom is clean and functional but shows its age with older vanity and lighting fixtures. Flooring throughout (laminate and carpet) appears in good condition. While some aesthetic updates could be made, no immediate renovations are required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier 55+ Community & Amenities: Located in The Colony, a gated, resort-style 55+ community offering extensive amenities including a grand clubhouse, pool, spas, sports courts, fitness center, salon, library, auditorium, and an 18-hole golf course.
Recent Exterior Upgrades & Low Maintenance: Features newer vinyl fencing (2024), exterior paint (2022), refurbished low-maintenance landscaping with irrigation (2023), and HOA-maintained front yard, reducing immediate and ongoing homeowner effort.
Desirable Single-Story Layout & Interior Features: A well-maintained single-story home with a bright, open floor plan, high ceilings, abundant natural light, a functional kitchen with granite countertops, peninsula breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry.
Private Outdoor Living with Greenbelt Views: Offers a spacious covered patio overlooking an HOA-maintained greenbelt, enhanced by wrought-iron fencing for open views and privacy from rear neighbors.
Convenient Location: Ideally situated near shopping, medical centers, parks, Temecula Valley wineries, and Pechanga Casino Resort, providing easy access to local attractions and necessities.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community: The 55+ age restriction significantly limits the potential buyer pool, which can impact market demand and resale flexibility compared to unrestricted properties.
High Monthly HOA Fees: The $348.0 monthly HOA fee, while covering extensive amenities and some exterior maintenance, represents a substantial recurring cost that must be factored into homeownership.
Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1995, while exterior updates are noted, the description does not specify updates to major interior systems (e.g., HVAC, water heater, roof), which may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan and could require future investment.
