While the building was constructed in 1986, the interior has been thoughtfully updated with modern laminate flooring, fresh paint, and a renovated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and open shelving.

The gated complex provides enhanced security and peace of mind, while the HOA-covered water and garbage services simplify monthly budgeting and property maintenance for the resident.
At $626 per month, the association dues are relatively high for a unit of this size, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
