More Insights
Built in 1988 (38 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1988, is well-maintained and clean, but the kitchen and bathroom show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features older white appliances (coil-top stove, refrigerator), dated white cabinets, and granite-look countertops. The bathroom has a dated vanity with green cabinets, basic fixtures, and older tile. While functional and move-in ready, these areas would require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Albany Middle School (9/10). High School: Albany High School (9/10).
Exceptional Location & Walkability: Perfectly situated in the heart of coveted Albany, steps from El Cerrito Plaza, BART, Trader Joe's, buses, and restaurants, making it a true 'walker's and biker's paradise'.
Top-Tier School District: Located within the highly-rated Albany K-12 school district, including Albany High (rating 9) and Albany Middle (rating 9), a significant draw for future resale value.
Premium Parking & Storage: Includes two secured garage parking spaces plus a bonus storage space, a rare and highly valuable amenity for a 1-bedroom condo in this dense urban area.
Excellent Commuter & Shopping Access: Offers convenient access to major shopping centers like Pacific East Mall, Costco, Sprouts, and Targets, and is just a 10-minute drive to UC Berkeley, enhancing its appeal to students and faculty.
Top-Floor Unit Advantage: As a rare top-floor unit, it typically offers enhanced privacy, reduced noise from above, and potentially better natural light or views.
Cons
Compact Living Space: The 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout with 688 sqft is relatively small, limiting its appeal primarily to single occupants or couples and excluding larger households.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The $776 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, which could significantly impact the overall affordability and long-term cost of ownership.
Building Age: Built in 1988, the building is over 35 years old. While well-maintained, it may eventually require updates to common areas or major systems compared to newer constructions.
