Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Walkability & Lifestyle: Boasts a 'Walker's Paradise' Walkscore of 94, providing immediate access to Lake Merritt, Whole Foods, diverse shops, restaurants, and the Saturday Farmer's Market, fostering an active urban lifestyle.
Tastefully Updated Interiors: Features modern amenities including hardwood floors, recessed lighting, an updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, and an updated bathroom with a soaking tub.
Excellent Transit & Bike Access: Offers plentiful public transit options, including BART, and a high Bikescore of 80, making commuting and local exploration highly convenient.
Private Outdoor Space & Entry: Benefits from an oversized private patio ideal for entertaining or relaxation, complemented by a unique separate entry directly to the unit.
Secure Parking & Buyer Incentives: Includes a dedicated parking spot in a secure garage, a valuable asset in urban settings, and offers special first-time homebuyer's lending programs.

Cons

Substantial Monthly Association Fee: The $765 monthly association fee is relatively high, significantly impacting the total cost of homeownership.
Building Age & Potential for Future Costs: Constructed in 1971, the building's age (over 50 years) may imply older infrastructure and the potential for future special assessments for major common area repairs or upgrades.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: As is common with buildings of this era, the property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer months.
