I have a few concerns about One Marina…read more FIrstly, let's be honest....this is an overpriced condo. Anyone who pays over 600k for this is going to get burned really badly in a down market. From an investment standpoint, this is dangerous. 1. The area is not desirable (i.e. not established, nothing nearby, pollution from 101 and factories, not family friendly). 2. The upgrades in the models are WAY, WAY overpriced in the design center. This means you'll be stuck overpaying even more on your mortgage for a long, long time. 3. The recent boom in the bay area is creating a huge condo bubble and in places like these, they should be sitting unsold. At the current prices (over 800k!), anyone who purchases now will really regret it. 4. The sales staff, while nice, is uninformed. Having visited their sales center, they don't know how to answer questions without making it more confusing. They are either talented sales people who are good at talking out of both sides of their mouth or they are uninformed themselves. Either way, red flag for me. 5. Even though it is townhouse style, many of the units have homeowners above/below and side/side. It's a condo...not a townhouse, don't fool yourself. (Some units are truly townhouses here, but the above 4 points still apply). 6. The smell. I smelled it. My family smelled it. Do YOU smell it? It's the water and it smells. This can't be fixed, so OneMarina will always be the place near the smelly water, across the way from a women's prison, near the car lots and industrial factories. Hooray? I'm all for affordable housing. But for 700+k, even in this booming market, you can get a house that will withstand the ups and downs of real estate FAR FAR better than this. If prices fall back to realistic numbers such as the low 600s, I think you are safer. These are nice units if you can look past the 6 points above....and I think you should only consider at a lower price by comparision. But at these 750+ thousand, stay far, far away. Or you may as well throw your money into the smelly water.

The parking situation at One Marina is atrocious. The condos are three bedrooms, but the garages…read moreare only two cars. You cannot park in the complex overnight! It is reserved for guest parking. You have to park the third car on the street, but street parking is limited (16 spots for 250 units; not including the two neighboring complexes of equal size). The 16 spots are always full. The HOA voted down the option for a paid parking permits within the complex; the whole conversation was dismissed because the HOA board isn't personally affected. For those people who have three cars for their three bedroom condo (shock), they must rent a spot at the plaza across the street. This poses a safety issue for the person and the car; walking blocks away at night, leaving your car in an unattended lot, not to mention the overall inconvenience. For a neighborhood so obsessed with safety and the Neighborhood Watch, they don't seem to care too much about the safety of their residents or their vehicles. The parking situation is such an inconvenience, paired with the HOA's unreceptive and patronizing attitude to the very real problem, has ruined my experience living at One Marina. Even if you have only two cars, I would not recommend living here because the company is truly unpleasant!

Moving overseas to Australia is hard enough, but trying to sell a house that had been sitting on…read morethe market for two months with no offers was breaking our spirits. A massive thanks to Dinesh and Sweety for completely turning things around for us. They took over the house, handled a stunning 4-week renovation, and literally treated this project like it was their own family's need, not just a job. The house looked so beautiful after the revamp that our family back home couldn't even recognize it! Because of their hard work, we got $300K more in value, which was a huge financial blessing for our move. Thank you both for making this change so much easier for us!

Honestly, we wouldn't be living in our dream house in Pleasanton if it wasn't for Dinesh. We've…read moreknown him since 2013 and he's helped us navigate buying and selling four different places now. I work as a data scientist (PhD, ex-Meta/Walmart), so I'm pretty skeptical of 'sales talk'--I need to see the numbers. That's why I stick with Dinesh. Back in 2020, we were dead set on buying in Fremont. Dinesh sat us down and showed us the data on why Pleasanton was actually the smarter move for our budget and the kids' schools. It was peak COVID--we were touring homes in masks and everyone was scared to buy--but he advised us to trust the market timing. Because of him, we got into a neighborhood we absolutely love right before prices skyrocketed. He also just helped us sell our old rental in Warm Springs (early 2025) and timed the exit perfectly to maximize our return. He's super smart, trustworthy, and actually cares about your long-term wealth. Can't recommend him enough.

This is probably not the place to rent a property because most of the people that live there are…read moreeither half dead or rude. The management company is very professional but don't expect to have nice neighbors because they treat renters like crap. If you own a condo then it's a great place to live, if you rent, you will be treated like dirt. Also the building has many leaks and pipe issues. We rented condo there and had two major plumbing issues and then we rented a business property and had 3-4 major plumbing issues!!! Don't even bother getting of upper management for help with your property, because no one answers calls or responds to complaints. The space and square footage for each unit is really great. The rent rates are very affordable and the parking is great.

I'm a current resident at City Heights... been here for about 4 months now :)…read more The verdict: I got exactly what I expected and what I paid for. I think real estate in California is ALL overpriced even now, but still feel I got a decent deal. They are definately missing the floor to ceiling windows and the pool, BUT.. who wants to pay 700 - 1200 in HOA fees?? Also, I got into a 2 bedroom 2 bath at City Heights on the 14th floor for about the same price or less than some of the one bedroom units at Axis, 88, or definately 360 on lower floors. The sales staff was great with me... and I haven't needed to contact anybody for any warranty work. I wish I had floor to ceiling windows.. and a pool.. and a Concierge.. but then again.. I wish I was richer :D It really depends on what is more important to you and how much money you have to burn. All in all.. I'm happy with it so far!! Now.. let's hope downtown San Jose booms! It's pretty dead down there sometimes especially week nights lol Happy St. Pattys!

For having an "open house" to sell off their inventory in the current recession, and part of a set…read moreof open houses with three other high-rises in downtown for a Friday evening . City Height's theme was desserts and fruits from Zanotto's Downtown Market. Lots of Red Apples, Green Apples, Oranges, Mandarin Oranges, Lemons, Tomatoes, Walnuts, cookies, wine, water. After you register, yea they collect your info, they give you a canvas bag with a brochure of CH. So what do you do with a shopping bag? You go and grocery shop in the produce "section". Of course I loaded up the bag with fruits/nuts/cookie, and a bottle of water; I skipped the tomato as it woulda been crushed in the 10lbs bag of free l00t. FTW.

The weather is very nice and it's located in a pretty safe part of town while still being accessible. There were quite a bit of issues living here as well though, mostly that the home feels like it's literally falling apart and is not worth the high cost of rent. Also our utility bill here was 3-4x higher (constantly 300$+) because the home somehow keeps 0 insulation. And here is a list of weird issues we found in the home (just looking back at my maintenance orders pictures, I'm sure I forgot lots of things): - The Den is slanted causing a crack in the door. Maintenance cannot fix this because the whole building is sinking into the floor I was told. - There was a huge amount of mold first week we moved into the apartment in the washer. Check these right away. - Blinds un-doing themselves and sagging. - Glass light cover in entrance fell and almost hit my head. - holder in the bathroom came off - water issues: water comes out murky, water heater broke multiple times causing no hot water, water even leak into our living room in the middle of the night - leaking tub requires people to enter and replace whole tub - roof tile falls off during windy day, seems like safety hazard.
