Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $577.23 per month is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership, which could deter some buyers.
Limited View from Unit: Despite the community's ocean/canyon views from amenities, the unit itself is specified as having a 'Neighborhood' view, potentially lacking the direct ocean vistas often desired and expected in this premium coastal market.
Condominium Ownership Limitations: As a condominium, it entails shared walls, potential noise transfer, and HOA rules and regulations that may restrict personal modifications or lifestyle choices, which some buyers might find less appealing than a single-family home.
