Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Upgrades & System Updates: The unit has been beautifully upgraded and remodeled throughout with modern finishes including wood tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, newer shake white cabinets, quartz countertops, and recessed lighting. Crucially, all electrical was replaced in 2019, and the building received new copper plumbing and a tankless water heater, offering significant peace of mind and reduced future maintenance.
Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Strategically located near major educational institutions (Chapman University), medical centers (St. Joseph’s, CHOC, UCI), shopping destinations (MainPlace Mall, Outlets at Orange), and major freeways (22 & 55). As a first-floor, end unit with no stairs, it offers enhanced accessibility and privacy.
All-Inclusive HOA & Rich Amenities: The HOA fee covers water, trash, and gas, simplifying monthly budgeting. Residents benefit from a wide array of community amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pool, spa, playground, basketball court, and multiple laundry facilities.
Convenient Private & Guest Parking: The property includes a private carport with storage, a valuable asset for condominium living, complemented by ample street parking right outside for guests and visitors.
Bright & Private Living Space: As an end unit, it benefits from enhanced privacy and an abundance of natural lighting. A private patio off the living room extends the living space outdoors, adding to its charm and functionality.
Cons
Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: Despite covering utilities like water, trash, and gas, the $516 monthly HOA fee is considerable and could impact affordability or perceived value for some potential buyers.
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 944 sqft, the unit offers a compact living space, which might be a constraint for buyers desiring larger rooms or more expansive layouts for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration.
Lack of Desirable Views & Building Age: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a disadvantage in a competitive market. Additionally, while the unit and building systems have been updated, the 1972 construction year might raise concerns for some buyers regarding overall building infrastructure or potential future assessments.
