CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

The monthly association fee of $729 is relatively high for a one-bedroom unit, which may impact overall affordability and debt-to-income ratios for some buyers.
- Open Concept Privacy
The mezzanine-style bedroom lacks traditional floor-to-ceiling walls, which may pose a challenge for buyers requiring acoustic privacy or a more conventional room separation.
- Market Stagnation
The history of four successive price reductions since the initial listing suggests the property has struggled with market traction, potentially affecting future resale perception.
