Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Hyer Elementary School (10/10). High School: Highland Park High School (9/10).
Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated just about a mile from the beach in the vibrant heart of Costa Mesa, this property offers immediate access to top-tier dining, boutique shopping, and nightlife, embodying the ultimate Southern California lifestyle.
Modern Luxury & High-End Finishes: Built in 2019, the condo features a sun-drenched open floor plan with soaring ceilings, wide-plank wood flooring, designer finishes, a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and a spa-inspired primary suite.
Expansive Private Rooftop Deck: A rare and significant feature for a condominium, the approximately 800 sq ft partially covered top-floor outdoor living area provides unparalleled space for entertaining, lounging, and enjoying coastal breezes.
Low-Maintenance Lifestyle: The property offers a convenient 'lock-and-leave' lifestyle complete with secure parking and in-unit laundry, appealing to those seeking ease and minimal upkeep.
New Construction Advantage: Being built in 2019 ensures modern building standards, energy efficiency, and minimal immediate maintenance concerns, providing peace of mind and contemporary design.
Cons
Limited View Quality: While having a view, it is described as 'Peek-A-Boo,' suggesting it's not a full, unobstructed, or panoramic ocean/city view, which might be expected for a luxury coastal property.
Absence of Traditional Private Yard: Despite the expansive rooftop deck, the property lacks a conventional private ground-level yard or garden, which some buyers, particularly those with pets or young children, may prefer.
Potentially Limited HOA Amenities/Coverage: The unusually low association fee of $95.0 for a high-end condo suggests it may not cover extensive luxury amenities (e.g., pool, gym, concierge) or comprehensive common area maintenance, potentially leading to higher out-of-pocket expenses or future special assessments.
