What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
If the unit count is indeed 3,150, this is a very large community, so secondary and rental competition is intense and common areas may be crowded at peak times
Sources disagree on the unit count (other data indicates 849 units); verify official documents before buying
