Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =73575, other record lot size in square feet = 73627.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $527.00 per month is a substantial ongoing cost that adds significantly to the total housing expense.
Absence of Views: Despite being a top-floor unit in a hillside community, the property explicitly states 'view: None,' which is a missed opportunity and potential detractor for buyers seeking scenic vistas.
Age of Building & Potential for Future Assessments: Built in 1989, the building is over 30 years old. While the unit has updates, common areas and building systems may require significant capital expenditures in the future, potentially leading to special assessments beyond the high HOA fees.
