Laminated Flooring: The presence of 'classic laminated floors' throughout the bedrooms might be perceived as a less premium finish compared to hardwood or other materials by some discerning buyers.
Mixed High School Ratings: While elementary and middle schools have good ratings, the local high school options include one with a lower rating (Cabrillo High School, rating 3), which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier high school education.
