Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features dated white appliances, laminate countertops, and original-style cabinetry. While the living area has updated hard-surface flooring, the bathrooms and overall fixtures are outdated and have not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation in the last 15 years, fitting the criteria for a fair condition score.
Situated in the heart of Oakland Chinatown, the property offers unparalleled walkability to diverse dining, grocery stores, banks, and a weekly Farmer's Market, ensuring a vibrant lifestyle.
The unit is located just 0.24 miles from Lincoln Elementary School, a highly-rated (8/10) institution, providing significant long-term value for families with young children.
With immediate freeway access and close proximity to major public transportation hubs, this location provides a seamless and efficient commute throughout the Bay Area.
The monthly HOA fee of $845 is substantial for a property at this price point, which may impact overall affordability and the buyer's debt-to-income ratio.
At 750 square feet for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration, the interior space is relatively small, which may limit furniture options and storage for residents.
Conveniently located in Oakland Chinatown, lots of restaurants, grocery stores, banks, doctor's offices, public transportation. Easy freeway access. Farmer's Market on Fridays.
No exterior & parking available.
