Hidden Lake is a resale community with no new construction. As with any condominium, review the association budget, reserves, insurance and recent inspection reports, and confirm pet, rental and parking rules before you make an offer. Because phases were built in different years, compare the age and condition of each building's roof and major systems. An attached garage is a practical plus in a condominium community.
