Tropic Gardens 1
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or qualitative descriptions like 'majority owner occupied' and found nothing. The remarks focus on unit features, location, and capital improvements, but provide no owner-occupancy data.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator counts or wording like 'multiple elevators' and found nothing. Because the building appears to be a low-rise townhome community, remarks would usually mention elevators if they were a notable feature, but no such evidence appears here.

11 of 20 recent MLS listings include OTCOEX (common-area electric) in association_fee_includes. Public remarks across the provided listings do not explicitly state 'common area electricity' or 'building power included', suggesting the checkbox is likely agent-entered rather than called out in remarks. Confidence is moderate (0.75) due to MLS prevalence but lack of explicit confirmation in remarks.

No listings (0/20) mark HOTWAT as included, while 18 of 20 list WTRHTR (water heater) in unit inclusions — a strong indicator units supply their own hot water. Remarks provide no counter-evidence; high-confidence evidence across multiple listings supports setting hot-water-included to false.

18 of 20 recent MLS listings include SEWER in association_fee_includes, and multiple public remarks reference sewer work/capital improvements (e.g., 'sewer replacements' and 'updated piping'), supporting that sewer is included in association fees across the building. Evidence is strong and consistent across listings and agents.
18 of 20 recent MLS listings include WATER in association_fee_includes. Public remarks do not explicitly say 'water included', though they mention exterior water drains and association improvements; combined with strong MLS consistency, this supports that water is included in association fees for the building.

Multiple listing remarks explicitly reference building/unit storage: examples include "bonus attic storage," "pull-down attic for extra storage," "large attic with pull-down stairs," "attic with built-in ladder," and "extra storage space in downstairs closet and attic." At least 5 of the provided listings mention attic/extra storage, and MLS checkbox data also shows storage selected on a few listings, indicating the building offers storage/lockers to some units.
I looked for any mention of surfboard storage or combined bike-and-surf storage. The remarks reference attic storage, closets, and general extra storage, but nothing specific to surfboard storage facilities.

Strong evidence across listings: numerous agent remarks (at least ~15–20 listings in this batch) explicitly reference on-site/shared pools with phrases like "swimming pool", "two community swimming pool", "inviting lap pool", and "association pool." Mentions are consistent across many different remarks/agents rather than being limited to a single listing, corroborating the historical MLS checkbox data that the building offers communal pool amenities.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for any indication the pool is salt water or saline. The community pool is mentioned repeatedly, including lap pool and two swimming pools, but there is no salt-water description.
Strong evidence that some units have in-unit laundry: roughly 17 of 20 current listings reference washer/dryer or in-unit laundry (quotes: 'Washer/dryer tucked away', 'brand-new washer and dryer', 'stacking washer and dryer'). Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks and listing updates (including recent renovations), indicating the feature is real and available in a substantial portion of units rather than isolated copy/paste errors.
No analysis available
I looked for references to coin laundry, paid laundry, quarters, card-operated machines, or laundry fees. The remarks consistently describe in-unit laundry instead, with no evidence of a paid common laundry room.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar wording. The listings mention in-unit washer/dryer, stacking laundry, and laundry tucked away in the unit, but nothing about shared laundry facilities on every floor.
All 20 MLS entries indicate the building has parking (20/20 have parking_features set). Remarks repeatedly reference the parking area and recent upgrades—quotes include 'newly paved parking lot' and 'newly paved & striped stalls'—showing consistent, multi-agent confirmation that the building provides parking.
Assigned parking is documented in the majority of MLS entries (18/20) and appears repeatedly in remarks: key phrases include 'Includes 1 assigned parking stall', 'assigned parking stall closest to the unit', and 'your assigned parking stall is located right at your doorstep.' Evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, indicating assigned/reserved stalls are part of the property.
No analysis available
I searched for deeded/owned parking language and found only assigned, reserved, or conveniently located stalls. That supports parking being assigned rather than deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
I looked for monthly parking charges, parking rental, or any dollar amount tied to parking and found none. The remarks only describe assigned or reserved stalls, so no fee can be extracted.

I searched for "waitlist" or "waiting list" language related to parking and found nothing. The remarks consistently describe assigned stalls, but nothing suggests a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access language in the public remarks. The listings discuss management, renovations, and convenience, but they do not mention a card-based security system.
No analysis available
I searched for references to security patrol service or a patrolled property. The remarks mention resident management and community upkeep, but nothing about patrols or roving security.

MLS inclusions indicate ACWIUN checked on 10/20 listings. At least two public remarks explicitly state "window AC unit" or "window air conditioner in one bedroom," while several other listings reference split ACs, suggesting some units have window units. Evidence is spread across multiple listings and agents, but not unanimous, so confidence is moderate.
8 of 20 current MLS listings include the CONCRE code for concrete construction, but none of the public remarks mention 'concrete', 'reinforced concrete', or similar phrasing. Evidence comes only from MLS checkbox codes across multiple listings and appears to be implied rather than explicitly described in agent remarks.
Fifteen of 20 current MLS listings include the DOUWAL code indicating double-wall construction, providing notable (but not fully corroborated) evidence. No public remarks explicitly state 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction', so inclusion is based on consistent MLS checkbox usage across many listings but remains moderately implied rather than directly described in agent remarks.
Hollow tile construction is indicated in 5 of 20 current MLS listings via the HOLTIL construction_materials code. No public remarks explicitly mention hollow tile or dispute it, suggesting agents who checked it based on building knowledge rather than recent changes. Given consistent building structure across the complex, this is moderately strong but not definitive evidence.
Only 5 of 20 current MLS listings include the MASSTU code, and none of the combined public remarks mention 'masonry' or 'stucco'. With no corroborating agent remarks and the feature present in a minority of listings, evidence indicates the building is unlikely to be masonry/stucco construction at the building level.
No analysis available
A concrete slab foundation is indicated in 5 of 20 current MLS listings via the SLAB construction_materials code. Although public remarks focus on remodels and capital improvements rather than structural details, nothing in them conflicts with a slab foundation. The pattern across several listings supports including this feature with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
9 of 20 current MLS listings include the WOOFRA code indicating wood-frame construction, yet none of the public remarks explicitly state 'wood frame' or 'wood frame construction'. This feature is implied by MLS coding across several listings but lacks corroborating language in agent remarks and may reflect checkbox usage rather than explicit description.

I searched for STR-related terms such as short-term rental allowed, vacation rental, NUC, TVU, or 30-day minimum rules and found none. Because the remarks do not indicate any STR permission, this is treated as not allowed based on the available public text.
I looked for hotel pool references like hotel rental program, Hilton pool, or similar branded rental management and found none. Since STR is not supported by the remarks, hotel-pool participation cannot be true.
I searched for language such as mandatory participation, required rental program, or cannot opt out and found nothing. With no evidence of STR or a rental pool program, mandatory participation is not supported.

I looked for leasehold language and any 4-digit expiration year such as "lease expires 2050" or "ground lease ends" and found nothing. The remarks do not state any lease expiry date, so the value remains unknown.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA financing language such as "VA approved," "VA loans accepted," or similar wording and found none. With no public remark confirming VA eligibility, this is best treated as not established from the available text.
I found one remark stating the building offers '100% hurricane insurance coverage,' which suggests strong coverage but is not the same as explicit full HOA/walls-in insurance. Since the remarks do not directly confirm full building insurance, I am not treating it as fully insured.
No analysis available
I reviewed the remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE, fire inspection pass, and life-safety compliance statements, and found none. Some remarks mention renovations, roofing, and termite tenting, but nothing specifically indicates a passed fire/life safety evaluation.

Across 20 recent listings, none have the MLS view field marked with any mountain-related keyword, and three explicitly state view='NONE'. Remarks focus on garden/greenery and sometimes 'green ridges,' but never mention 'mountain views' or 'Koolau views.' Given the complete absence of explicit mountain-view language in both structured data and remarks, this building is not currently treated as offering mountain views.

Multiple listings mention courtyard or garden-related features: "open courtyard...fully fenced", "lush landscaping", "open green space", "grassy common area", and one remark explicitly says "peaceful garden views." These references appear across many different agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste, indicating the building offers garden views to at least some units.

No listings (0/20) mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure in the remarks. With MLS view_descriptions showing 0/20 and no supporting agent language in multiple listings, there is strong evidence that sunrise views are not a building-level feature.
No public remarks across 20 listings mention 'sunset', 'evening sun', or 'western exposure' (0/20). Current MLS view_descriptions are NONE for 17/20 listings with only 1 listing showing SUNSET; prior data gave medium confidence. Given widespread NONE entries and lack of any remarks describing sunset views, this appears to be an agent correction rather than a true building feature.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit language such as "fireworks view from unit," "watch fireworks from lanai," or similar. The remarks talk about beaches, natural light, and garden views, but not viewing fireworks from the building.

18 of 20 current listings have the MLS amenities checkbox 'RESMAN' selected, indicating an on-site/resident manager is likely. However, none of the public remarks explicitly mention a resident or on-site manager (no phrases like 'resident manager', 'on-site manager', or 'live-in manager'), so the evidence is implied from widespread MLS checkbox usage and may reflect agent copy/paste. Confidence is moderate (0.75) since the checkbox is common but there are no confirming remarks.

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
