This Strong Value Opportunity is listed at $729,000, positioned well above the $685,429 Fair Market Value by 6%.

This is an ideal acquisition for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking a well-located Santa Cruz residence.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989 (35 years old), the property exceeds the 20-year threshold for 'Fair' condition. While the listing mentions an updated kitchen, the photos show dated elements including older carpeting, vertical blinds, and a bathroom vanity that appears original despite a stone countertop. It is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
Ideally situated near Natural Bridges State Beach, UCSC bus lines, and Swift Street Commons, offering exceptional lifestyle appeal and strong rental potential.
The top-floor positioning ensures no neighbors above, enhanced privacy, and pleasant treetop views, which are highly desirable features in a multi-unit complex.
The unit boasts an updated kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a cozy fireplace, providing a move-in-ready experience with essential modern conveniences.
With 53 days on the market and a recent price reduction, the property is experiencing slower-than-average absorption, suggesting initial overpricing or buyer hesitation.
The $522 monthly HOA fee adds a significant recurring expense that may impact affordability and debt-to-income ratios for budget-conscious buyers.
Perched on the top floor of a well-located Santa Cruz complex, this 2-bed, 2-bath condo offers privacy, treetop views, and a spacious balcony perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The unit features a light-filled living area with a cozy fireplace, an updated kitchen that opens to the main living space, generously sized bedrooms, in-unit laundry, and dedicated parking in a shared enclosed garage. Ideally situated just blocks from the UC Santa Cruz bus line and minutes from Natural Bridges State Beach, Wilder Ranch trails, the popular pump track, Swift Street Commons, New Leaf Community Market, local wineries, farmers markets, and popular westside dining and shopping, this home offers easy access to the best of Santa Cruz living.
