Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1990, this condo is 34 years old. While it features some desirable updates like granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and laminate hardwood flooring throughout, the kitchen cabinets appear to be original or from an older renovation. The bathroom is functional but basic, and the overall aesthetic, despite the 'feature walls,' shows signs of being dated. It is well-maintained and move-in ready, but would benefit from further modernization to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Affordability: Marketed as the 'most affordable housing in all of San Diego,' this property presents a compelling entry point into the San Diego real estate market for budget-conscious buyers.
Desirable Views: Situated on the 6th floor, the condo offers great views of ships in the bay to the west and scenic mountains to the east, enhancing the living experience.
Modern Interior Finishes: The unit features attractive upgrades including granite countertops in the kitchen, laminate hardwood flooring, and stylish feature walls in the main living space and master bedroom.
Dedicated Garage Parking: The inclusion of one assigned parking space in the garage is a significant convenience and value-add, especially in an urban environment where parking can be scarce.
High-Floor Location: Being on the 6th floor typically provides better views, reduced street noise, and a sense of security, which are often preferred by condo dwellers.
Cons
Complex Short Sale Process: The property is a short sale, which necessitates approval from both the lender and the HOA, potentially leading to prolonged closing times, increased uncertainty, and a higher risk of the transaction falling through.
Compact Living Space: With only 500 square feet, the 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout is quite small, which may limit its appeal to a specific demographic such as singles or couples without extensive space requirements.
High Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $472.0 for a 500 sqft unit is relatively high and could significantly impact the overall monthly carrying costs, potentially offsetting some of the initial affordability.
