Cons

Absence of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: Despite numerous modern updates, the property description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a notable omission for comfort during warmer months in Escondido.
Ongoing Homeowners Association (HOA) Dues: The property is part of an HOA with a monthly fee of $140, representing an additional recurring cost for the homeowner.
Limited Private Land for 'Country Living': While offering serene hillside views and an avocado grove beyond the fence, the 0.24-acre lot size might be considered modest for buyers specifically seeking a more expansive 'country-living' experience with significant private land.
