A good project from the 1980's. One of the units came up for sale early in the year for about $350 - 375K if I correctly recall. The interior needed an update but it's something that can be renovated because it has curb appeal.

I toured one within the last few weeks that was going for $300K. The interior of that unit also definitely needed an update, and I didn't love the layout, but I love the look of the complex.

Yes you're right. Just checked the Re-Max website and it looks like there are 5 units for sale in the complex. $280K to $334K. Splits are nice because they offer privacy but they can also have an awkward interaction between the kitchen and living room when the floor stagger between the two is too great. The visual from the kitchen with that floor plan is one which is a good 2/3 up the wall in the living room. If a person is standing in the kitchen, then the vantage point into the living room is closer to the ceiling (in the absence of an open to above). Some of these units fall into that category.

Yep, the one I toured was in that category. (Five units for sale at the same time seems a little worrying, eh?)
 
Coast Plaza by "APA?" Never heard of APA - I know back in the day - Coast was an independent when my wife worked there and we'd get cheap accommodations at their sister properties, like their one in Anaheim...but that was 25 years ago....
