Pros & Cons
Pros
New Construction & Modern Living: Built in 2024, this condominium offers brand-new, modern living spaces within a recently developed 96-unit community.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents will benefit from a wide array of amenities including a pool, spa, fitness room, clubhouse, bike storage, outdoor courtyard with BBQs, and an on-site playground.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located adjacent to the coveted Willow Glen area, offering a quick 10-minute commute to downtown San Jose and minutes to major freeways (87 and 280).
Desirable School District: The property is zoned within the San Jose Unified School District, which includes highly regarded schools like Willow Glen Middle and High Schools.
Riverside Proximity: The community backs up along the Guadalupe River, potentially offering scenic views and access to natural surroundings.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: A substantial monthly association fee of $740 adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership and should be factored into the budget.
High-Density Living: As part of a 96-unit condominium complex, residents may experience higher density and potentially less privacy compared to single-family homes.
Varying Elementary School Ratings: While within a desirable district, one of the explicitly mentioned elementary schools (Ernesto Galarza) has a lower rating (3/10), which might be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier elementary education.
