Vibrant Community Atmosphere with Unique Local Events: The location on Minnesota Avenue offers a unique community experience, including the delightful San Jose Bike Party passing by and an annual community gathering, fostering a strong neighborhood feel.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1850, other record living area = 1590.
Inconsistent School Performance: While some schools in the area have good ratings, several nearby elementary and middle schools have lower ratings (e.g., 3-4 out of 10), which might be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
Potential for Noise from Community Events: The description highlights the San Jose Bike Party passing through the street a couple of times a year and an annual community gathering, which, while positive for community spirit, could introduce periodic noise or disruption for some residents.
Absence of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: Despite being a 2010-era remodel with 'energy-saving extras,' the property description does not explicitly mention the presence of central air conditioning, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in San Jose.
