Are you searching for a Condo for rent? If so, the good news is that there are a lot of condos for rent in the San Jose area but, before choosing a condo you should specifically look for these 7 things before you decide to live there. 

What to Look for In A Condo for Rent 

Location – Is the condo for rent close to your work, family/friends or other things that you like to do in the area? You want to choose the right location because there’s nothing worse than choosing a great condo that’s far from your work or the things that you enjoy doing in the San Jose area. 

Storage – When viewing a condo, it’s always important to view the storage that the unit has to offer because you’re going to live there for one year or more and want to make sure that it can hold all of your stuff.  

Appliances – Verify if the apartment has appliances like a dishwasher, washer/dryer on site, and a refrigerator. Finding a condo that offers appliances is awesome because they can save you the trouble of having to buy or rent them yourself. 

Pet policy – Learn more if the condo allows pets and what their specific policy is because you don’t want to agree to rent a condo only to find out later that they don’t allow pets. 

Outdoor space – Does the condo have a small yard, patio, or porch? The yard space doesn’t have to be huge but it’s always nice to have especially if you enjoy grilling during the summer months. 

Parking – Will you have to park on the street or is there an assigned space? This is also very important to verify because parking on the street can really stink especially during a busy weekend in San Jose so don’t hesitate to ask this question. 

Nose – How noisy is the area? You may love the condo but if it’s located next to the freeway, city college or other high traffic areas, you might have to deal with some noise while you live there.
