CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Monthly Association Fees

    The $405.0 monthly association fee represents a notable ongoing expense that buyers must factor into their budget.

  • Compact Living Space

    With 735 sqft, the unit offers a relatively compact living area, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more expansive space or larger households.
