Welcome to 1000 W MacArthur Blvd #54 an updated upper-level condo tucked inside MacArthur Village, one of Santa Ana's most sought after 24 hour guard-gated communities in the heart of South Coast Metro. This is the kind of entry point into Orange County homeownership that first-time buyers wait for updated, move-in ready, and surrounded by a resort style community that delivers a lifestyle far beyond what the price tag suggests. Step inside and immediately notice the newer tile flooring that runs throughout the unit, clean and consistent underfoot and easy to maintain for years to come. The kitchen has been updated with fresh finishes that make everyday cooking a pleasure, and the bathroom has been refreshed as well giving the entire home a cohesive, modern feel from the moment you walk through the door. Being an upstairs unit, you get the added privacy, better views, and natural light that ground-floor units simply cannot match. MacArthur Village is a resort-style gated community featuring 3 pools, 5 jacuzzi spas, 4 tennis courts, a gym, volleyball courts, basketball courts, a clubhouse, and much more all secured behind a gate with 24-hour guard attendance around the clock. This is not just a condo, it is a lifestyle. The HOA covers water, giving you one less bill to think about every single month a practical benefit that adds real everyday value for any owner. Located in the heart of South Coast Metro, this home is walking distance to South Coast Plaza one of the most celebrated shopping destinations on the West Coast as well as the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, John Wayne Airport, and Bomo Koral Park. Trader Joe's, Vons, Philz Coffee, and a variety of restaurants and shopping centers are all just minutes away. Easy access to the 405, 55, 73, and 5 freeways puts the entire Orange County corridor and beyond right at your fingertips. The home is served by Taft Elementary School, McFadden Intermediate School, and Saddleback High School within the Santa Ana Unified School District
