Mercer West is an 11-story cement and concrete building with a distinctive low-unit-count profile: only 32 units across 11 stories means roughly 3 units per floor on average.

Built in 1963, Mercer West has the durability of concrete construction but at 63 years old has passed through multiple major system replacement cycles. The inclusion of cable TV in the HOA is an unusual and increasingly rare benefit that directly reduces individual monthly costs.
