Corner unit with a secret: it lives like a house. Pool on one side, Tijeras Creek Golf Course on the other, Saddleback Mountain standing guard like it's part of the deal. Lower level, two bedrooms, two baths, where someone spent money on the right things—luxury vinyl that flows, granite that grounds the kitchen, stainless steel that makes cooking feel intentional. The layout breathes. An open floor plan that doesn't force connection but allows it, master suite tucked privately in back with its walk-in and spa-level bath, guest room on the opposite side insuring privacy. Everything where it should be. But here's what sets this apart from other condos you've toured: your own front door, your own two-car garage with direct access, your own entrance that never asks you to share. While neighbors navigate hallways and hunt for parking, you're living the single-family experience without the single-family maintenance. Artificial turf stays magazine-perfect. The patio holds morning coffee as well as evening wine. Lake RSM access means actual beach days. Tennis courts with nets that stay tight. Sand volleyball where games break out. This isn't fee collection dressed up as community—it's the lifestyle you're buying into, already in motion. The location delivers. Schools that perform. Restaurants worth discovering. The kind of neighborhood where kids bike to friends' houses and adults walk dogs without checking the time. This is move-in ready for people who know what that means. This address doesn't just work—it hums. The mountain isn't going anywhere.
