Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Renovations: The condo boasts brand-new flooring, upgraded kitchen cabinets with sleek countertops, renovated bathrooms, new recessed lighting, and fresh interior paint throughout, offering a move-in ready condition.
Gated Community & End-Unit: Located in a desirable gated community, providing enhanced security and exclusivity. As an end-unit, it typically offers more natural light and privacy compared to interior units.
Prime Location & School District: Conveniently situated near shopping centers, restaurants, schools, and easy freeway access. It is also within the highly-regarded Alhambra Unified School District.
Low HOA with Utilities Included: The property benefits from a low HOA fee of $220, which includes essential utilities such as water, gas, and trash, significantly reducing monthly living expenses.
Functional Layout with First-Floor Master: The functional layout features a master suite on the first floor, offering convenience and privacy, while spacious living, dining, and kitchen areas are located upstairs.
Cons
Building Age: Built in 1980, the overall building infrastructure is over 40 years old, which may lead to potential future maintenance needs or special assessments for common areas, despite recent interior renovations.
Reverse Living Layout: The main living areas (living room, dining room, kitchen) are located upstairs, which might not appeal to all buyers, particularly those with mobility concerns or a preference for ground-level living spaces.
Lack of Specific Views: The property description explicitly states 'view: None', indicating an absence of scenic or notable outlooks, which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing views.
