Secure & Convenient Parking: The property includes a covered parking garage with two assigned parking spaces and a coded security entry gate, providing both convenience and enhanced security for residents.

Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The $570 monthly association fee is a significant ongoing cost that adds considerably to the total housing expense, which may be a deterrent for some potential buyers.
Condominium Living Limitations: As a condominium, the property inherently involves shared walls, potential noise transfer from neighbors, and limited private outdoor space, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a detached home with a private yard.
Building Age: Constructed in 1980, the building is over 40 years old. While the interior unit is updated, the age of the overall building infrastructure could lead to higher maintenance costs or special assessments for the HOA in the future.
