Pros & Cons

Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located close to downtown San Jose amenities, including restaurants, bars, San Pedro Square, tech companies, and major transportation hubs (VTA, Caltrain, freeways).
Move-in Ready Condition & Modern Comforts: The unit is described as 'extremely well kept' with a 'gourmet kitchen,' 'central AC/heating,' and an 'open floor plan,' offering immediate occupancy and modern living.
Spacious Layout & Storage: Features a 'huge primary bedroom with walk-in closet,' a 'great size second bedroom,' and 'extra storage space just outside of unit,' enhancing livability and convenience.
Secure Deeded Parking: Includes deeded parking in a gated garage, a valuable and secure amenity in an urban environment.
Adjacent Park Amenities: Proximity to St. James Park, which offers a dog park, playground, pavilion, and event space, adds significant lifestyle and recreational value.
Cons
Exorbitant Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $1,713 is exceptionally high, significantly impacting the total cost of ownership and potentially limiting buyer pool.
First-Floor Unit: Being located on the first floor may present drawbacks such as reduced privacy, potential for increased street noise, or less desirable views compared to higher units.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a price reduction from $664,000 to $634,000, which could indicate initial overpricing or a slower market response, potentially raising buyer questions.
