Pros & Cons
Pros
Brand New Construction: Built in 2025, this condominium offers modern design, new appliances, and the benefits of a never-before-lived-in home with minimal immediate maintenance concerns.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located adjacent to the highly coveted Willow Glen area, with a quick 10-minute commute to downtown San Jose and immediate access to major freeways (87 and 280).
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents will enjoy a wide array of shared amenities including a pool, spa, fitness room, clubhouse, bike storage, outdoor courtyard with BBQs, and an on-site playground.
Top-Rated School District: The property is zoned within the distinguished San Jose Unified School District, including highly regarded schools like Willow Glen High School, appealing to families.
Natural Setting: The development backs up along the Guadalupe River, offering a serene natural environment and potential for scenic views or recreational access.
Cons
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $630 is substantial and adds a significant ongoing cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability and long-term budgeting.
Compact Unit Size: With 646 square feet for a 1 bed/1 bath unit, the living space is relatively small, potentially limiting appeal for buyers desiring more room or future expansion.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: As a condominium with extensive common areas, the individual unit likely offers minimal to no private outdoor space (e.g., a private yard or large balcony), which can be a drawback for some buyers.
