Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1989, making it 35 years old. While the exterior image shows a maintained common area with stucco and a security gate, the exposed conduit and older fluorescent light fixture suggest an aging infrastructure. Without interior images, it's reasonable to assume the kitchen and bathrooms are either original or were renovated 15-30 years ago, meaning they are functional but likely outdated in style and features, requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The property fits the 'Fair' criteria of being built 25-40 years ago with no major renovations mentioned, indicating it's maintained but shows signs of age.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Downtown Location: Located in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana, offering unparalleled walkability to the Artist Village, Historic 4th Street's boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, theater, retail, Civic Center, and County offices, with convenient freeway access.
Comprehensive Community Amenities: The Spectrum HOA provides a gated community with an on-site manager, security, a pool, laundry facility, and elevator access, enhancing lifestyle and convenience for residents.
Dedicated Secured Parking: Includes two assigned secured garage parking spaces, a significant advantage and highly valued amenity in a dense urban environment.
Top Floor Unit: Positioned on the 4th (top) floor, which typically offers reduced noise from above and potentially more privacy.
Relative Affordability: Priced under $350,000, this condominium presents a relatively accessible entry point into the Orange County real estate market, particularly for a downtown location.
Cons
High Monthly HOA Dues: The $450.0 monthly association fee is substantial for a 654 sqft unit, adding significantly to the overall housing cost.
Compact Living Space: At 654 square feet, the unit is relatively small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more spacious living accommodations or those with larger furniture.
Lack of Specific View: Despite being a top-floor unit, the property description explicitly states 'view: None,' which might disappoint buyers expecting a scenic outlook from an elevated position.
