Playa Del Sol Condos for Sale

Living in Playa Del Sol

Playa Del Sol is a 1960s mid-rise condominium at 401 Cooper Landing Road in the 08002 side of Cherry Hill, and it is an attainable way to own in the township: compact one- and two-bedroom flats, with a few top-floor penthouse units, in a single elevator building built in the early 1960s.

Units are small: living space centers around 680 square feet, from about 500 square feet in the smallest one-bedroom units to around 1,000 in the larger two-bedroom units. One-bedroom units outnumber two-bedroom units, and one bath is typical, with two in some of the larger flats. Listings describe secured building access, balconies on many units and community amenities including a pool. For every attached option in town, see the Cherry Hill condos and townhomes page. Kitchens are galley-style in most units, and many owners have opened them up or updated cabinets, counters and flooring. The building has no garages; parking is in the surrounding lot.

Buyers here are first-time owners, downsizers who want one floor and an elevator, and investors, and listings regularly note existing tenants, so the association's rules on rentals and what the monthly fee covers are worth confirming early. Many units have been renovated one at a time, and units sold as-is turn up alongside updated ones. The Just Listed search shows each new unit first. Units with in-unit laundry are worth flagging, since not every layout has it.

For schools, the building is in 08002, and Cherry Hill Public Schools, which runs PreK through 12th grade, assigns high school by ZIP code, so this is Cherry Hill High School West territory on Chapel Avenue, with open enrollment for families who want East. Elementary goes by address and middle school by elementary, as everywhere in Cherry Hill Township.

Buyers comparing Playa Del Sol usually also look at the township's other elevator buildings, Chestnut Place, Barclay Towers and Mark 70, and at Cherry Parke's garden condos. Each has a different unit size, amenity package and fee structure.

Cooper Landing Road puts Route 70, Route 38 and the Cherry Hill Mall a few minutes away, with Cooper River Park and the PATCO line close by and the bridges into Philadelphia within easy reach. For a buyer whose priority is a short commute and a low-maintenance home, that location does a lot of the work. Buyers comparing a condo here with a small house can line it up against the homes under $400K search to see the trade-off. Upper floors with open views and units close to the elevator are the ones buyers ask about most, and the penthouse-level units come up only occasionally.

Association details change, so confirm them on each listing, and check the recently sold homes for how each unit size has been valued.
