More Insights

Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, the property is well-maintained with functional systems like central AC/heat and updated plank vinyl flooring in some areas. However, the bathrooms feature dated vanities and fixtures, and the overall aesthetic, including basic light fixtures and vertical blinds, reflects its age. The absence of kitchen images, combined with the explicit mention in the property analysis that kitchens and bathrooms may require updates to align with contemporary standards, indicates that while move-in ready, it requires minor cosmetic updates to modernize.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Generating Potential: Offers a versatile investment opportunity as a rental income property or a desirable owner-occupant scenario with supplemental rental income from the second unit.

Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located near major freeways (5, 57, 22) and popular retail/dining at The Block of Orange, offering exceptional convenience for residents.
Desirable Garage & Laundry Amenities: Each unit benefits from a private two-car attached garage, complete with in-garage washer/dryer hookups, providing significant convenience and storage.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6970, other record lot size in square feet = 7202.
Recurring Association Fee: The presence of an $81.0 monthly association fee for a duplex may be an unexpected recurring expense for buyers, potentially impacting net income for investors or increasing costs for owner-occupants.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1977, the property is nearly five decades old. While maintained, it may require future updates to kitchens, bathrooms, or other systems to align with contemporary aesthetic preferences and efficiency standards.
Standard Neighborhood View: The property offers a standard 'Neighborhood' view, lacking any distinctive scenic vistas (e.g., city lights, hills, or water) that some buyers might seek in this price range.
