Cons
Significant Mello Roos Tax: An annual Mello Roos tax of $3,402 adds a substantial recurring cost to homeownership, impacting overall affordability and long-term expenses.
Condominium Sub-Type with HOA Fees: Despite being described as a 'detached home,' the property's 'Condominium' sub-type implies potential HOA restrictions, a different ownership structure than a traditional single-family home, and an additional $125 monthly association fee.
Lack of Desirable Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a drawback in a desirable market like Irvine where properties with scenic views often command a premium.
