Cons

Recurring Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $240, which adds to the ongoing cost of homeownership.
Absence of Direct Ocean Views: Despite its coastal community location, the property description does not explicitly mention direct ocean views, which some buyers might expect at this price point in Carlsbad.
Lot Size Perception: While noted as one of the largest lots in The Foothills at 7,789 sq. ft., some buyers seeking more expansive private land for a nearly $2M property might find it less generous compared to other luxury options.
