Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1965, this condo features a kitchen with outdated white flat-panel cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, a coil-top electric stove, and a dated fluorescent light fixture. The bathroom also shows its age with an older vanity, integrated sink, strip lighting, and small square tiled shower surround. While the living areas have hardwood floors and some recessed lighting, the critical kitchen and bathroom areas are significantly outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current buyer expectations. The property is functional and appears maintained, but has not undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Resort-Style Amenities: The association offers a large lap pool, tennis courts, putting greens, gymnasium, sauna, scenic walking paths, tranquil fountains, and vibrant community activities, providing an unbeatable lifestyle.
Desirable Community & Setting: Nestled in a 'serene, park-like setting' within 'one of San Mateo's most desirable communities,' enhancing the quality of life and appeal.
Generous Private Balcony: The property features a generous private balcony, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, extending the living space outdoors.
Spacious 1-Bedroom Layout: At 772 sq ft, this 1-bedroom condo offers a comfortable and spacious living environment, which is ample for its type.
Proximity to Top-Rated High School: Located exceptionally close (0.19 miles) to San Mateo High School, which boasts a rating of 7, making it highly attractive for educational opportunities.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $621.0 monthly association fee is substantial and adds significantly to the ongoing cost of ownership, potentially impacting affordability for some buyers.
Building Age: Constructed in 1965, the building is nearly 60 years old, which could raise concerns about aging infrastructure, potential for future special assessments, or dated common areas despite being described as 'beautifully maintained.'
Recent Price Reduction: A recent $45,000 price drop from the original list price suggests the property may have been initially overvalued or is experiencing difficulty attracting offers, potentially indicating market resistance.
