Cons
Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $2,152.00 is exceptionally high, which could significantly impact affordability and appeal to a broader range of buyers.
Building Age & Potential for Future Costs: Constructed in 1980, the building is over four decades old. While the unit is updated, the age of the overall complex may lead to higher maintenance costs or special assessments in the future, potentially contributing to the high HOA.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, suggesting the absence of central air conditioning, which could be a comfort concern for some buyers, particularly during warmer periods.
