More Insights

Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, this condo has undergone significant recent updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated white cabinets, solid surface countertops, a new faucet, and brand-new LVP flooring. A newer HVAC system has also been installed. The half-bathroom boasts a stylish, modern tiled accent wall. While the full bathroom appears freshly painted, it likely retains some older fixtures, and the upstairs flooring is tile that appears older than the LVP downstairs. However, the critical areas like the kitchen, main living floors, and HVAC are well-updated, placing it firmly in 'Good' condition with no immediate renovation required.

Cons

Extensive HOA Repairs & Potential Disruptions: The HOA has approved extensive plans for repairs on roofs, balconies, wood, stucco, painting, pool area, steps, landscaping, and pavement, indicating significant deferred maintenance and potential for ongoing disruption or future special assessments.
High HOA Fees: The association fee of $450.00 per month is relatively high, especially considering the approved extensive repairs which may not be fully covered by current reserves, potentially impacting affordability.
