Cons

Monthly Association Fees: The recurring monthly association fee of $240 adds to the overall cost of homeownership, which potential buyers should factor into their budget.
Conflicting View Information: There is a discrepancy between the detailed description of 'sweeping views' and 'panoramic skyline views' and the structured data field indicating 'view: None,' requiring clarification.
