You probably shouldn’t buy this condo if you don’t want to live in South Tampa at a price point that almost never exists anymore. One-bedroom units in this zip code tend to disappear fast — so if you prefer overpaying elsewhere, this may not be for you. You definitely shouldn’t buy it if you dislike brand-new renovations. The kitchen and bathroom were completely redone in 2025 with quartz countertops, Masterbrand Diamond cabinetry, and sleek Jeld-Wen doors — and honestly, that kind of fresh, modern finish can raise expectations for every place you see after. You also won’t like it if you’re against rare conveniences — like having your own washer and dryer inside the unit. No hauling laundry baskets. No waiting. No shared-laundry frustration. (Yes, there’s still community laundry downstairs… but once you go private, you won’t go back.) If walking just a few steps from your reserved parking spot (#82) straight to your stairs sounds too easy, then this front-of-the-community location might ruin you for other condos. And fair warning — the HOA is ONLY $430.88/month, which covers the kind of maintenance and landscaping that keeps the community looking lush and cared for year-round. If you prefer surprise repair bills, this might not be your style. You also shouldn’t buy this if you don’t enjoy being minutes from South Tampa’s best — coffee shops, restaurants, gyms, parks, and the bay — or if palm trees, city energy, and a “north of Gandy” address don’t excite you. Bottom line? This condo is not for everyone. It’s for someone who sees value where others miss it. Someone who wants style, location, and smart upgrades without paying luxury-condo prices. Someone who knows that when opportunities like this show up in South Tampa — they don’t sit around waiting. So no… you probably shouldn’t buy this condo. Unless, of course, you know exactly what you’re looking at.
