Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it remains largely in its original 2002 condition. The kitchen features dated white appliances and oak cabinetry, and the overall aesthetic—including light fixtures and flooring—reflects builder-grade standards from over 20 years ago. While functional and clean, the home lacks the modern updates required for a higher rating.
Residents enjoy access to Sun City Palm Desert's world-class facilities, including championship golf courses, multiple clubhouses, fitness centers, and tennis/pickleball courts.
The property is exceptionally well-positioned near the main gate, providing quick and easy access to external shopping, dining, and essential services.
With a recent price reduction to $360,000, the home is priced below its 2023 sale price of $375,000, offering immediate equity potential for savvy buyers.
The monthly association fee of $1,022 is substantial and may be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers or those looking for lower carrying costs.
Featuring only 1.5 bathrooms, the property may lack the convenience and privacy desired by owners who frequently host overnight guests.
At just over 1,000 square feet, the home offers limited storage and hobby space compared to larger models available within the same subdivision.
