Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2005, this property is 19 years old and appears to be very clean and well-maintained, making it move-in ready. The kitchen and bathrooms are functional and in good condition, though their original builder-grade finishes (light wood cabinets, white appliances, standard fixtures) reflect the 2005 construction style and are aesthetically dated. The flooring, including carpet and tile, appears clean and well-kept. While the style is not modern, the overall condition shows minimal wear and tear, and no immediate renovations or repairs are required.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Affordable Homeownership Opportunity: Part of the City of Hayward’s Below Market Rate (BMR) program, offering a significantly reduced purchase price for qualified buyers.
Modern Construction: Built in 2005, the property benefits from relatively modern building standards and potentially fewer immediate maintenance concerns compared to older homes.
Convenient Location: Situated in Downtown Hayward, it offers easy access to shopping, dining, and essential commuter routes.
Attached Garage: Includes an attached garage, providing secure parking and additional storage space, a valuable amenity for a townhouse.
Good School Proximity: Located near well-rated schools, including Bret Harte Middle School (0.28 miles) and Hayward High School (0.8 miles with a 5 rating).
Cons
Strict Eligibility Requirements: The property is exclusively available to qualified buyers who meet specific income limits and must be owner-occupied, excluding investors and a broad market.
Monthly Association Fee: A recurring monthly association fee of $360 adds to the overall cost of homeownership.
Complex Application Process: Purchasing requires navigating a specific application process through the City of Hayward's BMR program, which can be time-consuming and restrictive.
