Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1990, this property has undergone thoughtful updates to its kitchen and bathrooms, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' criteria for a 'Good' score. The kitchen features white shaker-style cabinets, light granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while bathrooms boast updated vanities, fixtures, and tiling. The Saltillo tile flooring throughout is well-maintained and contributes to the classic Spanish Colonial charm, rather than indicating a need for repair. While the property's age suggests major systems might be nearing the end of their lifespan, the visible interior elements are move-in ready with no immediate renovations required.

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $730.0 is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting overall affordability.
