Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1979, is described as 'move-in ready' with an 'updated kitchen' and 'modern appliances.' While the kitchen features a modern stainless steel refrigerator and microwave, the raised-panel wood cabinets, tile countertops, tile flooring, and fluorescent lighting are stylistically dated, suggesting renovations were likely completed 15-30 years ago rather than recently. Bathrooms also feature dated vanities, fixtures, and lighting, though they appear clean and functional. Carpets in the living areas and bedrooms show some wear. The property is well-maintained and functional, but a buyer would likely desire minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to achieve a contemporary aesthetic, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Association Fee
The monthly association fee of $500.0 is relatively high for a 2-bedroom condo, which could impact affordability and long-term ownership costs.
- Older Construction Year

- Mixed School Ratings
While some schools are well-rated, the nearby Crespi Junior High School has a rating of 2, which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier educational options.
