	Preview Comments:
3444 Notre Dame Dr. Santa Clara, 3 BD 2 BA 1568 Sqft. List $719,000	Positives: Killlarney Farms home on a quiet interior street.  Home featured a clean feel with oak kitchen cabinets and tile counter tops, refinished hardwood floors, updated exterior paint, and newer roof, dual paned windows and new garage doors.  Beautifully landscaped front and back yards. Negatives: The biggest draw back to this home is that there is no master bath room.  There are two bathrooms on upsstairs and one downstaris.  The downstairs bath is the hall bath and the bath for the down stairs bedroom, which I consider to be the master bedroom.  Other than that some of the decor is not fully updated but well finished.
3776 Dunford Ave., Santa Clara, 4 BA 2 BA 1568 Sqft. 6400 Sqft. Lot. List $839,000	Positives: This Mackay home in Birdland is fairly clean and definitely in move in condition. The home features a steel roof, dual paned windows, refinished hardwood floors, and roll up garage doors.  The school is Laurelwood Elementary and Peterson Middle School.  Interior of the home is freshly painted. Negatives: The home is situated on thorough fare road, Dunford.  The bathrooms are original and need updating. Tacky vinyl flooring in the bathrooms, kitchen and den area.
342 Lowell Drive, Santa Clara, Westwood Oaks. 3 BD 2 BA 1525 Sqft. 6300 Sqft. Lot, List $828,000	Positives: Updated baths, dual paned windows, quiet location in a desirable Santa Clara Neighborhood.   Nice stylish updates, like recessed lighting, well placed and designed sky lights.   Exterior curb appeal and newer roof.  Cupertino Schools, Eisenhower Elementary and Hyde Middle. Negatives: Backyard landscaping was poor, patio was shifted by severe settling.  Slight settling in the home, typical for these homes and this age.  Front yard had a home made pond that was designed in a ametuer fashion.  Kitchen was basic, with mirrors installed on the backsplash.
3869 Melody Lane, Santa Clara, 6 BD 3.5 BA 2396 Sqft. 6000 Sqft. Lot, List $850,000	Positives: Quiet location in desireable Westwood Oaks.  Santa Clara schools Laurelwood and Peterson.  Many bedrooms with upstairs studio for inlaw or other specail living circumstances. Negatives: Home is very outdated and original, bathrooms and kitchen are old.  Older windows, and lacks abundant living areas for the number of bedrooms.  Backyard is not well landscaped and backs up into an commercial office building.  Just carport and no garage.

Oak Park Cupertino Condo interior.

This condo development is hardly new. Its been in the works for years, Pinn Brothers the developer of the site had two projects in Cupertino simultaneous. This project has quite a bit of possitives going for it. Number one is the location. Its right across the street from the Apple head quarters, and in the top school area for Cupertino Schools (Monta Vista, Garden Gate, Lawson).

The negatives is the road noise from 280 and the lack of any functional common areas.  Also I found a majority of the units to be dark, which to the defense of the complex is typical for any condo development, especially for those bottom level units.

They have several floor plans to choose from ranging from 1 bedrooms to 3 bedroom units and prices range from the $400K’s to $700K’s. The units were marketed as contemporary and lofts. The sytle and amenities I thought were ok, certainly not high end, but typical of these mass developers. Appliances were a plus, Bosch quality. Cabinets featured a modern look, but were average in quality. Countertops were alto a nice plus, Zodiac brand and contemporary looking. Windows were also consistend with the contemporary style. Althought not super top of the line they did stay consistent to the style.

The best units by far where the top level units and were the first to sell out. They featured high dramatic ceilings with bright interiors and were certainly attractive to the eye. First through third floor seemed like typical condo style units. They were dark in the interior, the only units that seemed bright were the southern exposed units a they were few. Over all I give the development a solid B for value, and a good investment choice for any speculators out there.

I was searching the web for high school rankings in Santa Clara County. I found a site, http://schooldigger.com, that published statewide high school rankings not based on API. They combite the CST schools in math and english, also they have other metrics such as school size and teacher to student ratios. I compiled the state ranks for the high schools of the West Valley area, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Cupertino, West San Jose, Los Gatos, Los Altos, Mountain View, and Palo Alto. This is a different way of looking at schools other than just API scores.  The results are not too surprising but they differ from the API scores.  Top schools is Palo Alto High in the Palo Alto School District.  Followed by Saratoga, Lynbrook, then the highly touted Monta Vista high of Cupertino.  Homestead did not fare too well as did Los Altos and Mountain View High Schools.

Schools have always been a major factor in most home purchases. There’s no doubt that good performing school areas will correlate with high real estate home values. The most ambitious people in our society today are going to seek out the best areas to raise their children. These days we have come to characterize good schools with API performance. Whether or not you agree most buyers use these figures as a gauge for desirability of a certain area. Here are the schools for one of the top school districts in the State, the Cupertino Union School District.
