Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1972, has received cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, newer kitchen appliances (dishwasher, range, refrigerator), and a newer bathroom vanity. The flooring in the living areas and kitchen appears to be updated wood laminate/engineered wood, and the bedroom/bathroom have clean ceramic tile. However, the kitchen cabinets and countertops are dated in style, and some light fixtures are basic or older. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the updates are not extensive enough or recent enough to overcome the property's age and the outdated aesthetic of key components, placing it in the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: The property boasts an excellent location with walking distance to BART, downtown Walnut Creek dining and shops, direct access to the Iron Horse Trail, and close proximity to Highway 680, ideal for commuters.
Extensive Resort-Style Amenities: Residents enjoy a wealth of community amenities including three swimming pools (one heated year-round), spas, a two-story clubhouse with a gym, four lighted tennis courts, basketball, putting green, racquetball, saunas, billiard room, and BBQ areas.
Turnkey & Updated Interior: The condo is beautifully updated with a freshly painted interior, newer vanity, and updated living area and kitchen, making it move-in ready with no immediate maintenance needed.
Ground-Floor Access & Enhanced Tranquility: Offers convenient ground-floor access with minimal stairs, and its unattached right side provides a more tranquil living experience.
Competitive Pricing: Marketed as 'Priced to Sell!' with a recent significant price reduction from its original listing, presenting a potentially attractive value in the Walnut Creek market.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The $804 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, which could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Shared Laundry Inconvenience: Laundry facilities are located on the fifth floor, which is an inconvenience for a ground-floor unit and not ideal for daily use.
Compact Living Space: At 517 square feet, the 1-bedroom unit offers limited living space, which may not appeal to all buyers or accommodate future needs.
