Pros & Cons
Pros
Brand New Construction: Built in 2023, this condominium offers modern design, energy efficiency, and minimal immediate maintenance concerns, appealing to buyers seeking a move-in ready home.
Extensive Community Amenities: The Almaden community provides a wealth of amenities including a pool, spa, fitness room, clubhouse, bike storage, outdoor courtyard with BBQs, and a playground, enhancing the resident lifestyle.
Strategic Location & Commuter Access: Located adjacent to the highly coveted Willow Glen area, the property offers a quick 10-minute commute to downtown San Jose and immediate access to major freeways (87 & 280).
Desirable School District Access: Situated within the San Jose Unified School District, with access to well-regarded schools such as Willow Glen High School (rating 6) and Booksin Elementary School (rating 8).
Riverfront Proximity: The property backs directly onto the Guadalupe River, potentially offering scenic views and convenient access to nature and recreational opportunities.
Cons
Substantial Monthly Association Fee: The $740 monthly association fee is considerably high, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership and potentially impacting affordability.
Limited Square Footage for Price: With 1067 sqft for a list price of $799,800, the property presents a relatively high price per square foot, which may be a consideration for buyers seeking more living space for their investment.
Inconsistent School Ratings: While in a desirable district, some of the listed schools (e.g., Ernesto Galarza Elementary with a rating of 3) have lower performance ratings, which could be a drawback for families prioritizing top-tier education.
