Condo Living Restrictions: As a condominium, residents are subject to HOA rules and regulations, and potential for shared wall noise, which may limit personal freedoms or privacy compared to a single-family home.
First-Floor Unit: While offering easy access, being a first-floor unit may result in less privacy or elevated views compared to units on higher floors, despite having mountain views from specific windows.
Age of Building: Built in 1966, while extensively updated, the underlying structure is older, which could potentially lead to unforeseen maintenance issues or future large-scale assessments not covered by the current HOA inclusions.
