Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $965.0 is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Townhome Structure Limitations: As a townhome, it implies shared walls and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may limit personal modifications or privacy compared to a detached single-family home.
No Private Pool/Spa: Despite extensive community amenities, the unit itself does not feature a private pool or spa, which some buyers may prefer for exclusive use.
