Cons

Single Bathroom: The unit features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which may be a limiting factor for some buyers, particularly families or those desiring more personal space.
High HOA Fees: The monthly association fee of $465 is a significant recurring cost that adds to the overall housing expense, potentially impacting affordability for some buyers despite the covered amenities.
Age of Building & Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1977, while the interior is updated, the underlying building structure and some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical outside of recent appliance upgrades) are older, which could lead to unforeseen maintenance or repair needs in the future.
