Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1989, making it 35 years old. While the listing states it's 'updated' and 'meticulously maintained' with an 'upgraded kitchen' featuring granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, the visual evidence suggests these updates are not recent enough to qualify for a 'good' score. The kitchen appliances appear newer, but the style of the wood cabinets, the tile countertops in the primary bathroom, and some lighting fixtures (e.g., the large ceiling panel in the kitchen and the vanity lighting in the bathroom) indicate renovations that are likely 15-25 years old rather than within the last 5-15 years. The tile flooring throughout is clean and well-maintained but also reflects a style that is not cutting-edge modern. The property is move-in ready and functional, but its overall aesthetic and the likely age of its major updates place it in the 'fair' category, requiring minor updates to align with current styles.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Golf Course & Mountain Views: The property boasts spectacular panoramic views of the lush green golf course and surrounding mountains from multiple vantage points, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Extensive Resort-Style Community Amenities: Residents benefit from access to over 29 pools and spas, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, and 24-hour guarded security, all included in the HOA, offering a luxurious lifestyle.
Prime Central Valley Location: Situated in the heart of Palm Desert, the location offers convenient walking access to dining, shopping, medical facilities, and educational campuses, with top entertainment venues just minutes away.
Updated & Move-in Ready Interior: The condo features a light, bright, and meticulously maintained interior with soaring ceilings, an upgraded kitchen, and an open floor plan, making it move-in ready for immediate enjoyment.
Private Outdoor Living Spaces: Enjoy both front and rear patio areas, perfect for morning coffee, al fresco dining, entertaining, and soaking in sunrises and sunsets with stunning views.

Cons

High Monthly Homeowners Association Dues: The monthly HOA fee of $849 is substantial, potentially impacting affordability and long-term ownership costs for some buyers, despite the extensive inclusions.
Age of Building (1989 Construction): While the interior is updated, the building's 1989 construction date means some underlying systems or common areas may be older, potentially leading to future maintenance considerations or less modern infrastructure.
Condominium Ownership Limitations: As a condominium, ownership comes with inherent restrictions on exterior modifications, potential shared wall noise, and community-specific rules that may not suit all buyers seeking greater autonomy or privacy.
