Cons

High Monthly HOA Fees: The $525 monthly association fee represents a significant ongoing cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Shared Wall (Townhome Structure): As a townhome sharing one wall, it may not offer the complete privacy or independence desired by buyers specifically seeking a fully detached single-family residence.
Limited Private Green Space: While featuring a private patio, the property lacks a traditional large yard, which might be a drawback for buyers desiring extensive private green space or a larger area for pets/children.
