You will note the house is located near the Island Gym, a real estate office, a doctors office, a car wash, and many nearby restaurants, galleries, gas stations and government offices. There is a small assisted living complex across the street. More than anything, I think the location is driving this short sale (see photo below). The area is not bad. But it isn't what most second home buyers dream of owning. Potential primary home buyers may dismiss considering it as well because of the nearby commercial activity. If some or all of the above issues bother you as a buyer, stop reading. But if you are open to compromising your wish list to get a good price on a nice house, read on.
