Enjoy vibrant urban living in this classic downtown San Jose apartment. Situated just one-half block from San Jose State University and two blocks from San Jose City Hall, this residence is an unbeatable location for students and professionals alike.

INTERIOR FEATURES & LIFESTYLE
This home features a spacious, sun-drenched living area that highlights its historic 1898 charm while offering modern convenience. Spacious with ample natural light, beautiful hardwood flooring.

NEIGHBORHOOD & LOCAL FLAVOR
The neighborhood is brimming with local flavor. Just a short walk to the historic Naglee Park district and the scenic William Street Park, a 15-acre green space. Foodies will appreciate proximity to local favorites like Back A Yard Caribbean American Grill and artisanal brews at Academic Coffee. For entertainment, you are steps away from the SoFA Market food hall, galleries, and the lively nightlife of downtown San Jose.

COMMUTE & CONVENIENCE
Commuting is effortless with quick access to Highways 87, 101, 280, and 680. Public transit users are well-served by the nearby Paseo De San Antonio VTA Station.

Reserved parking is included (a rare find downtown!).

We rent only to applicants whom we have met in person.

  1. The first step is to drive by the property.
  2. Next, click here to Request a Showing Appointment
  3. A property manager will contact you to arrange a showing.
  4. After the showing, if you’d like to rent the property, make an informal lease proposal.
  5. If we have a match, we’ll email you an invitation to apply online. There is a $30 fee for the credit history and background screening report. If you apply but we do not process your application (i.e. we accept someone else who applied before you), we won’t collect the fee.

Important: If you make an appointment and cannot keep it or will be late, please be considerate and let us know the moment you realize it. We are making a special trip to the house for you! We’ll wait 10 minutes and if you’re not there, we’ll consider it a no-show.

There is no need to bring paperwork to the showing. If you are invited to apply, that’s when to submit your application. Applications are processed only from prospective tenants whom we have met in person.

Questions and Answers top of page

Q: Is the property or unit available?

A: The current status is shown on our home page. As soon as the status changes, we update the website.

Q: My credit is bad/awful/can’t be described in words. Will you consider me?

A: Yes. We realize that stuff happens. If you’re a good person, please apply and we’ll discuss your situation.

Q: I can’t pay the deposit all at once. May I make payments?

A: Possibly. If you have good credit and can pay at least one-third up-front, or have no credit or poor credit and can pay at least one-half up-front, AND offer us an acceptable plan for paying the balance, we will work with you. Otherwise, the deposit will be due up front.

Q: I’m coming from out of the area and would like to rent. May I apply?

A: Sorry, we don’t rent to anyone we haven’t met. Let us know when you’ll be in town and we’ll show you the property.

Q: I’d like to visit the property. When we meet, should I bring anything?

A: No, you don’t need to bring anything.
