Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1976, this property features recent cosmetic updates including new luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint, which contribute to a clean and refreshed feel in the main living areas. However, the kitchen is significantly dated with dark wood cabinets, older white appliances, and basic countertops, requiring a full renovation to meet current standards. Popcorn ceilings are also present throughout. While the property is well-maintained and livable, the outdated kitchen (and likely bathroom, given no images) prevents it from being considered 'Good' as it requires more than minor updates in these key areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Downtown Oakland Location: Situated in vibrant Downtown Oakland and the cultural core of Chinatown, offering an energetic urban lifestyle.
Recent Interior Upgrades: Features new luxury vinyl wood flooring and fresh paint, providing a modern and appealing aesthetic.
Private Balcony with City Views: The private balcony offers stunning city night views, enhancing the living experience.
Secure Parking & Low HOA: Includes secure enclosed parking and benefits from low HOA fees ($369.0), adding significant value and convenience.
Exceptional Accessibility: Boasts unbeatable access to trendy shops, acclaimed dining, public transit, major freeways, and is steps from Lincoln Elementary.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 585 sqft with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, the unit offers limited living area, which may not suit all buyer needs.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: Given the 1976 build year and no mention in the description, it is likely the unit lacks central AC, which could be a drawback during warmer months.
Potential for Urban Noise: Its location in a 'vibrant Downtown Oakland' and Chinatown, while offering amenities, also implies a higher likelihood of urban noise, which may not appeal to all residents.
