Description

This is a semi-studio in a charming Edwardian house in Downtown San Jose. Its walk and bike scores are over 90. It is one block from a 523 rapid bus stop to Cupertino. It is four blocks from the green and blue light rail lines to north San Jose. It is a short bike ride to the SJ Diridon Caltrain station, with direct baby bullet service to Mountain View and San Francisco. And it is 3 blocks from SJSU with access to all the charms of a college campus.

It has been recently remodeled, it has its own kitchen, and features electronic smart locks for security. And the base rent is only $1350, less than half the average rent for a studio in San Francisco and 2/3rds of a studio in San Jose. And you can get parking or storage directly in the driveway for only $150 extra.

What's the catch? The biggest one is that it is a semi-studio, so it has a shared bathroom. And it is small, only 110 sqft (roughly 11'5" x 9'8"). But if you are going to spend most of your time at school or work, like the ability to walk to a variety of amenities, and want to save money on rent, this may be the perfect fit for you.
