Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989 (35 years old), the property falls into the >20y category. While it features updated vinyl wood-look flooring in the main living areas and bedrooms, the kitchen and bathrooms were specifically excluded from this update, suggesting they remain in a dated condition. The presence of popcorn ceilings and original-style fireplace tiling further indicates a need for cosmetic modernization, though the unit appears well-maintained and functional.
Ideally situated minutes from Ventura's beaches and downtown, this property offers excellent accessibility to scenic trails, shopping, and a short commute to Ojai and Santa Barbara.
The inclusion of both a private one-car garage and an additional covered parking space is a rare and highly valuable feature for a two-bedroom condominium.
Residents benefit from a peaceful community setting with access to a pool, spa, and clubhouse, with an HOA that conveniently covers water, trash, and fire insurance.
At $780 per month, the association dues are relatively high and may impact the overall affordability or debt-to-income ratio for some prospective buyers.
The local elementary and middle schools carry lower ratings (4 and 5 respectively), which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
