More Insights
Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: Built in 1985, this condo has recently undergone significant cosmetic updates, including a full repaint and brand-new flooring throughout, making it move-in ready. The kitchen and bathrooms feature updated granite countertops, but the appliances (white, older style) and some fixtures (e.g., bathroom lighting, shower enclosure) are functional but not modern. While major systems are likely original or older given the age, they appear well-maintained, and no immediate repairs are indicated. This aligns with a 'Good' rating, signifying a well-maintained property with some updated components, but not a full, high-end renovation.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Aliso Niguel High School (9/10).
Prime Location & Accessibility: Ideally located within walking distance to Costco, with easy access to Toll Road 73 and Freeway I-5, and minutes from major shopping centers, dining, and entertainment options.
Move-in Ready Condition: The unit has been fully repainted and features brand-new flooring, offering a fresh, modern aesthetic and immediate occupancy without additional work.
Abundant Natural Light & Desirable Layout: As a corner, upper-end unit with vaulted ceilings, abundant windows, and a semi-wraparound balcony, it maximizes natural light and provides an open, airy living environment.
Excellent Community Amenities: Residents benefit from HOA amenities including two swimming pools and a recreation room, enhancing lifestyle and leisure opportunities.
Convenient Parking Solutions: The property includes a detached one-car garage and ample guest parking on both sides of the building, addressing a common challenge in condo living.
Cons
High HOA Fees: The monthly association fee of $476 is a significant ongoing expense that buyers must factor into their budget, impacting overall affordability.
Compact Square Footage: At 826 sqft for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, the living space is relatively compact, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking larger residences or more expansive layouts.
Age of Building & Potential for Original Systems: Built in 1985, while cosmetically updated, the building's age suggests potential for original infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future attention or lack modern efficiencies, and no central cooling system is mentioned.
