What Could Work Against You

- The 35-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.

It is a weaker fit for resort facilities — other options likely serve them better. Resort-grade amenity stack including multiple pools, clubhouse, and recreational facilities.
