S tation House, a community of 171 all-electric, solar powered townhomes by City Ventures, is currently becoming one of West Oakland’s most popular for-sale communities. Some of these newly released homes include distinctive features such as private backyards, open kitchens, decks, and “flex spaces” with an option for a third bedroom and bathroom. Prices for the homes start in the $600,000s. “We’re proud to announce more than 50 percent of the 171 units are already sold out,” said Philip Kerr, CEO, City Ventures Homebuilding. “The last sales release in the beginning of March was a success, and only a handful of the newly released collection of homes in West Oakland are still available for purchase.” About 40 units have been completed and all 171 units are expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year. The popular Plan 5 residences are now only available in two buildings at Station House. These spacious Plan 5 townhomes feature 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and up to 1,700 sq. ft. of living space. Each home also comes with an attached garage and a private backyard – a highly-coveted amenity in the Bay Area. Select units also feature decks and/or third bedrooms with full baths. West Oakland has seen an increase in renovations and new home construction targeting those eager to be near public transit. Residents are less than a 10 minute BART ride from downtown San Francisco or downtown Oakland, and just a few miles away from Berkeley, Rockridge, Emeryville, Uptown and Temescal. The commuter-friendly neighborhood is easily accessible by car, train, ferry or bike. Each home includes high-end Bosch® appliances and other innovations such as NEST® thermostats and SunPower® solar systems. These energy-efficient residences are powered by advanced solar technology, eliminating gas bills and reducing electric bills by up to 80 percent.
