Willow Glen Terraces and Courtyards





View Larger Map

Willow Glen Place is close to St. Elizabeth Park by Pinn Bros. This condo and townhouse style development is by Toll Brothers. The condos are surrounded by the Townhouses. The condos each have their own patio (called the terrace), while the bottom floored ones have access to a central courtyard. The model I liked the most was the Fairwood, because of its price point at $539,000 and size of 2 bed/2 bath at 1470 square feet. It's a lot larger than most houses I've seen in the area, especially when you don't have to climb any stairs. Warning, HOAs are hefty at $390 a month though, but its definitely worth taking a look, because the models will make you feel like a million dollars. Take a look and let me know what you think.

St. Elizabeth Park


View Larger Map

St. Elizabeth Park is located in the popular Willow Glen area in San Jose. Of the three floor plans, I preferred the Willow the most, and it's priced at $530,000. The Willow has 3 beds/ 2.5 baths, and a formal dinning area. The layout is not as open as the other two, but is still very comfortable. The high end maple floor plan has ceilings so high that it's possible to maybe set up a rock climbing wall to enter onto the 3rd floor. It felt a little too overwhelming when I entered. The Wisteria was a bit small at 1,300 square feet and the amount of stairs felt overwhelming. Let me know if you want to take a look at it on the weekends, or if you're there, tell Tammy that you saw it on my website. Thanks. The website is here, and I do apologize for not having any photos of it, but it's definitely worth going there to browse. Home owners association dues are at $252 a month. http://www.pinnbros.com/homes/st_elizabeth_park/index.php

Home Auctions

Today's the end of the 9 day foreclosure auction event in Northern California. What fun it was to take part in it, seems like deals were made left and right. One tip is to arrive a little earlier (say 15 to 20 minutes) just to get situated. Today's auction was off schedule by almost 1.5 hours. Don't forget to bring ear plugs, trust me, it'll make the entire process much more bearable as the speakers were way too loud. You can see other upcoming auctions here, www.ushomeauction.com. Email me if you have any specific questions.
