CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • High Association Fees

    The monthly HOA fee of $1,925 is quite high for a one-bedroom unit, which may impact the overall return on investment and monthly affordability.

    The lack of in-unit laundry, with facilities located in a community area on the first floor, may be a convenience drawback for long-term residents.
