Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The property incurs a monthly association fee of $294.0, which adds to the ongoing cost of ownership.
Aggressive Price Increase: The current list price of $1.675M represents a significant increase from its last sale of $1.345M in January 2024, potentially requiring strong justification through recent comparable sales.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System Detail: While a 2006 build likely includes AC, the description's omission of specific cooling system details (e.g., central AC, zones) could be a minor concern for buyers in a hot climate like La Quinta.
