With a competitive list price and the availability of a 3% down payment program with no PMI, this condo represents an excellent entry point for first-time buyers or investors.

At 680 square feet, the compact one-bedroom layout offers limited living and storage space, which may restrict the property's appeal to individuals or couples only.
