Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, this property is a well-maintained but dated starter home. While the kitchen features updated lower cabinetry, it retains older white appliances and dated tile countertops. The laminate and tile flooring are functional, but the overall interior, including fixtures and the 'bring your own design' suggestion in the description, indicates the home has not had a comprehensive modern renovation in the last 15 years, placing it firmly in the fair category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

The property offers exceptional connectivity with easy access to Highways 680 and 101, and is conveniently located near San Jose State University, Costco, and major medical centers.
- Ground-Level Accessibility
As a ground-floor unit with two reserved parking spots and interior laundry, this condo provides superior convenience and ease of access compared to multi-level alternatives.
- Community Amenities
Residents enjoy a robust suite of amenities including a swimming pool, clubhouse, and scenic walking paths through well-maintained green spaces, enhancing the overall lifestyle value.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Cosmetic Modernization Needed
The suggestion to 'bring your own design' indicates that the unit likely requires additional capital investment for interior updates and aesthetic improvements to meet modern standards.
- Aging Infrastructure
Built in 1988, the property may lack the energy efficiency of newer builds and could face upcoming maintenance requirements typical of a nearly 40-year-old development.
