More Insights
Built in 1970 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1970, this property is aged but has received some notable updates. The kitchen, while functional, features a mix of older appliances (electric range) and dated elements like the countertops and cabinet style, despite newer stainless steel refrigerator and microwave. The bedroom carpet shows visible wear and stains. Positively, the property benefits from a newly upgraded central air system and some modern light fixtures. Overall, it is maintained but requires minor cosmetic updates to enhance its appeal and bring it to a more contemporary standard.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Central Location: The property boasts an unbeatable central location with quick access to major attractions like South Coast Plaza (5 min), John Wayne Airport (7 min), Orange Coast College (10 min), and easy freeway access (405, 55), enhancing convenience and desirability.
Recent Central Air Upgrade: A newly upgraded central air system provides modern comfort and efficiency, a significant and valuable amenity for a property built in 1970.
Well-Maintained Community: Located within a 'well-maintained community,' suggesting a desirable living environment, good HOA management, and potentially higher property values.
Highly-Rated Local Schools: Proximity to a highly-rated elementary school (Greenville Fundamental, 5/10) and a good high school (Segerstrom High, 6/10) within walking distance is a strong draw for families.
Motivated Seller & Price Adjustment: The recent price drop from $580,000 to $540,000, coupled with a 'VERY MOTIVATED SELLER' status, presents a strong buying opportunity and potential for negotiation.
Cons
Extended Market Time: Having been on the market for over six months (listed Nov 2024, modified June 2025) suggests potential buyer resistance or initial overpricing, which may require further price adjustments or marketing strategy review.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The $401.50 monthly association fee is a substantial recurring cost that can impact affordability and appeal to budget-conscious buyers.
Age of Property: Built in 1970, while central air is new, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, windows) may be original or older, potentially leading to future maintenance or upgrade expenses.
