Pros & Cons
Pros
New Construction & Modern Living: As a brand new development with a 2025 build year, the property offers contemporary design, modern finishes, and the benefits of new construction, appealing to buyers seeking a move-in ready, low-maintenance home.
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 Freeways 87 and 280, ensuring excellent connectivity and convenience.
Extensive Community Amenities: The development boasts a comprehensive suite of amenities including a Pool, Spa, Fitness Room, Clubhouse, Bike Storage, Outdoor Courtyard with BBQs, and an on-site playground, enhancing lifestyle and resident appeal.
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 School, making it attractive to families.
Natural Surroundings: The property's unique position backing up along the Guadalupe River provides a serene natural setting and potential for outdoor enjoyment, a rare find in urban condominium living.
Cons
High Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $739.00 per month is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting affordability and long-term budgeting.
Future Completion Date: With a year built of 2025 and an on-market date in August 2025, this is an off-plan purchase, meaning buyers cannot move in immediately and must wait for construction completion, which may not suit all needs.
Condominium Lifestyle Limitations: As a condominium, the property inherently comes with shared walls, less private outdoor space compared to single-family homes, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking more autonomy or privacy.
