I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of buying this condo, any advice?

I’m a first time homebuyer and I don’t have many people I can go to for support/advice on the topic, so I’m coming to my Reddit fam lol.

Here are the pros of the condo I like: 1. Location - it’s in a great location for me. 2. Price - it’s very affordable, way less money than I was prepared to spend. 3. It’s just really, really nice on the inside. When I first saw the pictures of the place, my jaw dropped. Everything inside has been redone, the floors, cabinets, all of the appliances, everything in the bathrooms etc. It looks like a high end apartment.

Here are the cons: 1. Both bathrooms are really tiny. There is a half bathroom in the master, so just a toilet and sink. The other bathroom is a full bath, but it’s super small. Like the toilet and bathtub are right next to each other with no space between them. (The overall condo is 900 square feet) 2. It’s on the first floor. For security reasons, I always feel like i’ll be safer living higher up if something happens. It’s much easier to break into a first floor condo than a third floor condo. 3) no central a/c. It has a brand new window and wall unit. But I’ve never lived without central a/c, so I don’t know how much of a con this will be. It might not be even be an issue.

So what do you think? Would the pros outweigh the cons for you? Why or why not? Are there other things you would consider?
