Condition Rating
Good

The condo, built in 1971, has undergone extensive and recent renovations within the past two years, including new flooring, a new AC/heating system, an updated bathroom, and an upgraded kitchen with a new Bosch dishwasher and microwave. The bathroom is fully modernized with new fixtures and tiling. While the kitchen features new cabinets, countertops, and some appliances, the white gas range and black refrigerator appear older and do not match the newer stainless steel dishwasher, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, the property is move-in ready with significant recent upgrades to key areas and systems.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Renovations: The condo boasts comprehensive recent upgrades including new flooring, an upgraded kitchen with a Bosch dishwasher and water filtration system, an updated bathroom, a new AC/heating unit, digital door lock, and new closet doors, all installed within the past two years.
Prime Urban Location & Walkability: Strategically located less than two miles from Downtown LA, USC, and the Staples Center, with walking distance to MacArthur Park, shops, restaurants, and groceries, offering excellent accessibility to Koreatown, public transit, and major freeways.
Comprehensive Building Amenities: Residents benefit from secure entry, a lobby, elevator access, onsite management, evening security, a rooftop pool and Jacuzzi with Downtown LA views, a gym, spa, laundry facilities, and one gated parking space.
Functional & Spacious Layout: The unit features a well-designed layout including a separate dining area, a cozy den with a fireplace, multiple closets (including a walk-in), and an oversized balcony that opens to a garden area, enhancing living comfort.
Inclusive HOA Dues: The HOA dues cover essential utilities such as water, gas, trash, and building maintenance, providing predictable monthly expenses and added convenience for residents.

Cons

High HOA Dues: The association fee of $501.0 per month is relatively high for a one-bedroom, 715 sqft unit, which could impact affordability and long-term ownership costs.
Lack of Unit View: Despite the building's rooftop offering breathtaking views, the unit itself is listed with 'None' for views, and its balcony opens to a garden area, potentially disappointing buyers seeking city vistas from their private space.
Building Age: Constructed in 1971, the building is over 50 years old. While the unit is remodeled, the age of the overall structure and common areas may imply potential for future large-scale repairs or infrastructure updates not fully covered by regular HOA fees.
