Key pros and cons
Top Pros:
Great Schools: Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).
Top Cons:
Ambiguous Ownership Structure / Unusually Low List Price: The list price of $32,000 is highly unusual for a condominium in Marin County, especially given a previous sale at $215,000. This strongly suggests a non-traditional ownership model (e.g., co-op share, leasehold, or life estate) that requires thorough investigation, potentially complicating financing and resale.

Cons
Ambiguous Ownership Structure / Unusually Low List Price: The list price of $32,000 is highly unusual for a condominium in Marin County, especially given a previous sale at $215,000. This strongly suggests a non-traditional ownership model (e.g., co-op share, leasehold, or life estate) that requires thorough investigation, potentially complicating financing and resale.
Substantial Monthly Association Fees: The HOA fee of $4,049 per month is exceptionally high, representing a significant ongoing financial commitment, even with the extensive services included. This could be a barrier for many potential buyers.
Age-Restricted Community: As a '60+ community,' the property's marketability is limited to a specific demographic, which can reduce the pool of potential buyers and potentially impact future appreciation or resale velocity.
