Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The $849 monthly association fee, while inclusive of many services, represents a significant ongoing cost for ownership.
Property Age (1990 Construction): Despite recent mechanical updates, the 1990 build year may present an older aesthetic or require future renovations beyond what's already been done to meet modern preferences.
Condominium Lifestyle Limitations: As a condominium, it entails shared walls and common area regulations, which may not appeal to buyers seeking greater privacy or autonomy over their property.
