Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but it reflects its 1991 construction date with largely original or older updates. The kitchen features dated white appliances and cabinetry, and the bathrooms show signs of being outdated despite their clean condition. It fits the criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with functional but aged components.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Doyle Elementary School (9/10). High School: University City High School (9/10).

  • Comprehensive Resort Amenities

    The property offers an unparalleled lifestyle for seniors, featuring 24/7 concierge, weekly housekeeping, on-site gourmet dining, and a diverse social calendar including cultural outings and fitness facilities.

  • Exceptional Views and Natural Light

    As a 14th-floor corner unit with a wall of windows, this residence provides stunning, unobstructed panoramic views of the mountains and city skyline, complemented by an open-concept layout.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • High Monthly Carrying Costs

    The monthly HOA fee of $3,734 is significant and may be a deterrent for buyers on a fixed income, despite covering utilities, dining credits, and extensive services.

  • Restricted Market Appeal

    The 62+ age restriction for this independent living community limits the potential buyer pool to a specific demographic, which can impact resale liquidity compared to standard residential condos.
