About the property

Turnkey 2-Bed Townhouse w/ Garage & Community Pool

This well-maintained two-story townhome blends practical layouts with thoughtful updates — an excellent choice for buyers seeking low-maintenance living without sacrificing space. Enter through a private gated front area into a living room anchored by a cozy fireplace and a large picture window. Wood-style flooring and recessed lighting flow through the main level to the dining area and functional kitchen, which features plentiful cabinetry and modest upgrades that keep the unit move-in ready. A convenient half bath/guest restroom is located on the main floor.

Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms arranged around a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom; one bedroom benefits from an additional private vanity area, a useful detail for shared use. The unit totals approximately 1,147 square feet and was built in 1981, with recent cosmetic updates (fresh paint, clean finishes) that present a neutral palette for personalization.

Practical features include the described 2-car attached garage with laundry hookups and assigned parking — a valuable asset in this submarket — plus gated community amenities that, per seller materials, include pool and spa, roof and termite protection and common area maintenance (buyers should request HOA documents for specifics). This setting reduces exterior maintenance and is attractive to buyers who prefer lock-and-leave convenience.

Location is a strong selling point: quick access to the 60 Freeway keeps commutes straightforward, and everyday needs are close by with neighborhood grocery and dining options within minutes. Nogales High School is referenced as nearby in seller notes. Whether you're a first-time buyer, someone downsizing, or an investor seeking steady rental demand, this property offers a turnkey option in a stable West Covina community.

Editorial market perspective

Entry-level attached homes (2-bed townhomes and condos) in West Covina have been in steady demand as inventory remains tighter at lower price points. As of early 2026 the local townhome market shows modest year-over-year appreciation (mid-single digits) but remains sensitive to rate changes. This unit is competitively positioned at $538,000 — close to the AVM — and offers upside for both owner-occupants and investors because of the attached garage and community amenities. Typical buyer pools include first-time homebuyers priced out of single-family inventory and investors targeting stable rents. Expect a market timeframe shorter than for larger single-family homes if priced accurately and with a clean HOA package.
