Most parents want to send their kids to good schools. This is especially so in Silicon Valley. So buying a house with good schools is one of the most important search criteria for many who’s looking for a house here. Houses with good schools are getting more and more expensive also because tuition is increasing twice or more of the pace of the inflation. So having a house with good public schools makes it more affordable to provide the good education to kids.
Milpitas is probably the most affordable city in Santa Clara county which has good schools. My new listing at 101 Ede Lane in Milpitas is extremely affordable for a house with good schools from elementary to high schools. Here are the school info:
Elementary: Pearl Zanker Elem (API 884)
Middle: Rancho Milpitas Middle (API 880)
High: Milpitas High (API 827)
It’s also within walking distance to the elementary schools.
If you do not need to worry about the kids’ school yet, this house lets you save money by paying less on your monthly housing expense. To rent a house like that, your monthly rental will be around $2000-$2200. If you buy it, your monthly payment will be around $1600-1700 (assuming you pay 20-25% down with 4% rate). With it’s low HOA fee of $255, you get private access to nice swimming pool, recreation house too. Adding that, it’s still less than your renal payment.
With two attached garage and nice updated kitchen, you have a much better place to live than you rent an apartment but with less payment. What a deal!
If that makes you think, check it out here for virtual tour first. And then, come to see the house this weekend. The very convenient location is a plus.
