Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1997, is 27 years old. While it benefits from recent cosmetic updates such as new paint, new carpeting, and vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, the overall style of the kitchen and bathroom remains dated. Specifically, the tile countertops in both areas are a prominent feature that would require updating to meet current aesthetic standards. Although the description mentions 'recent appliances' and a stainless steel refrigerator, the microwave and oven appear to be older models. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the outdated kitchen and bathroom elements prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category where minor updates are required to modernize key areas.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Downtown Location & Accessibility: Situated in the heart of downtown San Jose, offering immediate access to City Hall, MLK Library, SJSU, Caesar Chavez Park, San Pedro Square, performing arts, numerous restaurants, and excellent public transit options (Cal-Train, VTA Light Rail), plus easy highway and airport access.
Extensive Community Amenities: The secure Paseo Plaza complex provides a rich array of amenities including a pool, spa, large fitness room, social lounge, and two spacious courtyards, enhancing the resident lifestyle.
Recent Building Upgrades: The HOA has recently invested in significant infrastructure improvements, replacing the roof, water conditioning system, and boilers, and upgrading garage gates and elevators, indicating a well-maintained and proactive community.
Updated Interior & Desirable Features: The unit is move-in ready with new paint, new carpeting, vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, recent appliances, a marble-trimmed gas fireplace, wet bar, dual sinks, separate shower and tub, and a huge walk-in closet.
Spacious Layout & Deeded Parking: At 1023 sqft, this 1-bedroom condo offers a generous living space, and the inclusion of one deeded parking space is a significant advantage in a dense urban environment.

Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $994 is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, which could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers and impact affordability.
History of Price Reductions: The property has undergone two price reductions from its original list price of $550,000 to $525,000, which may suggest initial overpricing or a longer time on the market.
Standard View: The unit offers a 'Neighborhood' view, which, while not necessarily negative, is not a premium or highly sought-after scenic view that some condo buyers might expect or desire.
