Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988 (36 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains dated. While it features cosmetic updates like laminate flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen and bathrooms show original-style cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures. The HVAC system and water heater also appear to be older units, placing the property in the 'Fair' category based on age and the need for future modernization of core systems.
Middle School: Albany Middle School (9/10). High School: Albany High School (9/10).
The gated Bayside Commons community offers extensive amenities including a pool, gym, and sports courts, while the HOA fee uniquely covers gas, water, and internet, providing significant cost-efficiency for owners.
Ideally situated within the top-rated Albany school district, the property offers effortless commuting with a 15-minute walk to BART and a Transbay bus stop located directly outside the community.
At $689 per month, the association fees represent a substantial recurring expense that may impact the overall monthly affordability for budget-conscious buyers.
Constructed in 1988, the complex may require ongoing maintenance common to older developments, and the high-density condo environment offers less seclusion than a single-family residence.
