CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1763, other record living area = 1673.
- High Association Fees
The monthly HOA fee of $715 is relatively high, which increases the total cost of ownership and may impact the purchasing power of budget-conscious buyers.
- Townhouse Limitations
As a 1970s-built townhouse, the property lacks the full privacy and land ownership of a detached single-family home, which may affect long-term appreciation potential.
