More Insights

Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1991, is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows signs of being outdated. While the kitchen has 'upgraded cabinets and countertops,' the style of these, along with the black/white appliances and bathroom fixtures (e.g., gold-framed shower doors), suggests these updates were done 15-30 years ago rather than recently. The carpet and light fixtures are also functional but not modern. The property fits the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, and likely having no major renovations since construction or renovations that are now 15-30 years old.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views & Outdoor Living: The property boasts stunning views of the greenbelt, pool, spa, and western/southern mountains, complemented by an elevated back patio perfect for enjoying the scenery.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in the prestigious Desert Falls CC, directly across from extensive shopping, dining, and adjacent to the JW Marriott, with excellent access to I-10, El Paseo, Eisenhower Medical Center, and Palm Springs Airport.
Investor-Friendly with Short-Term Rentals Allowed: A significant advantage for investors or those seeking rental income, as short-term rentals are explicitly permitted within the community.
Extensive Community Amenities Included: Residents benefit from a pristine Health & Fitness Center, tennis facility, and pickleball courts, all included in the monthly dues, enhancing lifestyle and value.
Turnkey & Upgraded Interior: Offered furnished with an open floor plan, cozy gas fireplace, and upgraded kitchen cabinets and countertops, providing a comfortable and ready-to-move-in experience.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $910.0 is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting affordability.
Age of Property (Potential for System Updates): Built in 1991, while the kitchen is upgraded, other major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future capital expenditures.
Lack of Specific Cooling System Mention: Given Palm Desert's hot climate, the description does not explicitly mention a central cooling system, which could be a concern for comfort and a potential upgrade cost for buyers.
