Monthly HOA fees range from $500 to $600, covering common area electricity, exterior painting, insurance for common areas, landscaping, maintenance of common and exterior areas, management fees, and reserves.
Practical amenities for everyday comfort
Cherry Avenue Villas offers a selection of amenities designed to enhance residents' daily lives. The building is equipped with elevators, ensuring easy access to all floors. Security is a priority, with keyed entrances providing peace of mind for residents.
Parking is a notable feature, with each unit allocated two covered parking spaces - one in the underground garage and one in a carport. This is particularly valuable given the area's sometimes challenging street parking situation. For those with extra belongings, the building provides additional storage options, including individual storage rooms conveniently located on the same floor as the units.
While the complex doesn't boast luxury amenities like pools or fitness centers, it focuses on practical features that cater to everyday needs. The building's management team handles package services, ensuring residents can easily receive deliveries. The emphasis on functionality extends to the units themselves, which come equipped with essential appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves, and air conditioning, contributing to a comfortable living experience.
A hub of convenience in the heart of Bay Hill
Cherry Avenue Villas is situated in the vibrant Bay Hill neighborhood of San Bruno, an area known for its excellent connectivity and burgeoning tech presence. The location is particularly appealing to those working in the tech industry, with YouTube and Walmart headquarters just a block away. This proximity not only offers a short commute for employees but also contributes to the area's dynamic, forward-thinking atmosphere.
The neighborhood's convenience extends to its shopping and dining options. Bayhill Shopping Center, a mere five-minute walk from the complex, houses a variety of stores and eateries. Here, residents can grab a quick coffee at Starbucks, pick up groceries at Mollie Stone's Markets, or enjoy a casual meal at Big Mouth Burgers and Beers. For more extensive shopping needs, The Shops at Tanforan is about a 15-minute walk away, offering a diverse range of retail options, a food court, and a movie theater.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Commodore Park, less than a quarter-mile from Cherry Avenue Villas. This city park features play areas, picnic tables, BBQ pits, and an enclosed dog run, providing a perfect spot for recreation or relaxation. The park's closeness allows residents to easily incorporate green space into their daily routines.
For those seeking cultural experiences or nightlife, San Bruno keeps a busy social calendar with year-round events, including flea markets, concerts, and movies in the park. The 107-year-old Artichoke Joe's Casino, located across El Camino Real, offers entertainment for those feeling lucky.
The neighborhood's location also puts residents within easy reach of San Francisco's attractions, with downtown SF just a short drive or train ride away. This balance of local amenities and access to the broader Bay Area makes Cherry Avenue Villas an attractive option for those seeking a convenient, well-connected living experience.
Multiple transit options for seamless Bay Area connectivity
Cherry Avenue Villas benefits from its strategic location in a transportation hub, offering residents multiple options for getting around the Bay Area. For those who prefer public transit, the Cherry Ave & Peninsula Pl bus stop is just a five-minute walk away, servicing the Pacifica - Parkside IL line. Another nearby stop at Sneath Ln & Cherry Ave, also a short walk, provides access to additional routes including the Airport/Linden - Skyline College and IBL Middle School - San Bruno BART lines.
For longer commutes or trips into San Francisco, the San Bruno BART station is approximately a mile away, or a five-minute drive. This station serves multiple lines including Dublin/Pleasanton - Millbrae, Pittsburg/Bay Point - San Francisco International, and Richmond - Millbrae, providing extensive connectivity throughout the Bay Area.
Caltrain users can access the South San Francisco station, about a five-minute drive and approximately 4 miles from the complex, offering another option for travel along the Peninsula and into San Francisco or San Jose.
The proximity to major highways is another transportation advantage. Interstate 280 and Highway 101 are easily accessible, facilitating car travel throughout the region. For air travelers, the San Francisco International Airport is conveniently located just a 10-minute drive away.
While the area's Walk Score of 58 suggests some errands can be accomplished on foot, many residents find having a car beneficial. The complex's provision of two parking spaces per unit is particularly valuable in this context. However, the variety of public transit options means that car-free living is certainly feasible for those who prefer it.
Cycling enthusiasts should note that while the area has a Bike Score of 37, indicating some bike infrastructure, it may not be the most bike-friendly location. However, for recreational cycling, nearby parks and less trafficked side streets offer pleasant routes.
This mix of transportation options allows residents of Cherry Avenue Villas to tailor their commutes and travel plans to their individual needs, whether they're heading to work in Silicon Valley, exploring San Francisco, or jetting off from SFO.
