Showing Off Downtown

Park Townsend

Having shown this complex as well as others just a couple days ago to a buyer, I am reminded of what condo complexes downtown offer that have become so enticing to those that live there.

Let’s use Park Townsend as an example.  It’s located at 46 W. Julian Street San Jose, CA. 95110, which happens to be a short drive to freeway entrances and short distances to food, bars, and entertainment.

I came across an article in the San Jose Mercury News, which basically reminds us how these near record low mortgage rates won’t last forever.

“That’s because Congress late last year tied a payroll tax-break extension for millions of workers to what amounts to a new hidden tax on anyone who takes out a mortgage or refinances their home loan.” – Amy Fontinelle
