Pros & Cons
Pros
Brand New Construction: Built in 2025, this condominium offers modern design, new appliances, and the benefit of minimal immediate maintenance concerns.
Extensive Community Amenities: The development boasts a wide array of amenities including a Pool, Spa, Fitness Room, Clubhouse, Bike Storage, Outdoor Courtyard with BBQs, and a children's playground, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.
Strategic Location: Adjacent to the highly coveted Willow Glen area, with a quick 10-minute commute to downtown San Jose and immediate access to Freeways 87 and 280, offering excellent connectivity.
Desirable School District: Located within the San Jose Unified School District, which includes distinguished schools like Ernesto Galarza Elementary, Willow Glen Middle, and Willow Glen High, appealing to families.
River Proximity: The property backs up along the Guadalupe River, potentially offering scenic views and access to natural surroundings.
Cons
High Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $738.0 per month is substantial and significantly adds to the overall cost of homeownership, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
Condominium Lifestyle Limitations: As a condominium in a 96-unit complex, residents will experience shared walls, potentially less privacy, and limited private outdoor space compared to a single-family home.
Modest Unit Size for Price: With 1076 sqft for a 2 bed/2 bath unit at a list price of $789,800, the square footage might be considered modest for the price point in the San Jose market, potentially limiting appeal to those requiring more space.
