Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Downtown Location & Transit Access: The condominium boasts an exceptional downtown Walnut Creek location, offering immediate access to top-rated restaurants, boutique shopping, and the Lesher Center for the Arts. It's also conveniently located just two blocks from BART, providing excellent transit options.
Recent High-Quality Updates: Freshly updated in May 2025 (assuming current year) with HOA-approved luxury vinyl plank flooring, new paint, new carpet, some new lights, and refurbished bathroom & kitchen grout, giving the unit a contemporary and move-in ready feel.
Resort-Style Building Amenities: Residents of The Mercer enjoy an impressive array of resort-style amenities, including a large lap pool, spa, BBQ area, outdoor shower and fireplace, and a clubhouse, enhancing the urban living experience.
Premium Interior Features: The kitchen is equipped with high-end features such as stone countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a gas range. The primary bedroom's bathroom offers a luxurious soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower, adding to the unit's appeal.
Top-Rated School District: The property is situated within a highly-regarded school district, including Las Lomas High School with a 9/10 rating, making it attractive for families or for future resale value.

Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $946.00 is substantial and represents a significant recurring cost for ownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Recent Price Reduction: The listing price was recently reduced from $840,000 to $828,000, which may suggest initial overpricing or a lack of strong buyer interest at the original price point.
Absence of Cooling System Mention: While a fireplace is highlighted for cold evenings, the description does not mention the presence of air conditioning or a cooling system, which could be a notable drawback during Walnut Creek's warmer months.
