Gated San Jose community. This is a genuine opportunity for a first-time buyer or an investor looking for a turnkey property below $500K in a market where that's getting harder to find. One thing worth addressing upfront: the HOA is $709 a month. Before that number scares you off, look at what it actually covers. Water. Xfinity cable and internet. Garbage, compost, and recycling. Gated entry with security presence. A pool and tennis courts. Add up what those cost separately (a cable and internet bundle alone runs $150 plus a month in San Jose) and the HOA starts looking less like overhead and more like a bundled utility package with a gate and a pool attached. This is also a fully independent unit. No one living above you, no one below you. That's rare in condo living and it matters for day to day quality of life. Inside, the layout gives real separation between the two bedrooms, so it works for roommates, a home office setup, or a family. The floor plan is livable, not just technically two bedrooms. Location does a lot of the work here too. You're close to grocery stores, restaurants, and parks, with fast access to the freeways that connect you across the South Bay, the Peninsula, and the rest of the Bay Area. Major Silicon Valley employers are a short drive out, which keeps rental and resale demand steady in this pocket. For investors, the math is straightforward: entry under $500K, an HOA that covers most of your fixed costs, and a rental pool of tech workers who want gated, amenity-rich housing near their jobs. For owner-occupants, it's a low-maintenance way into ownership without giving up security or lifestyle. 39 days on the market and a real price cut means this one is priced to move now. Come see it.
