My husband actually lived right next to this condominium complex when it was being constructed.  He was renting one of the several hundred apartments surrounding this complex.   When the homes were finally constructed they were all listed for around $1 million while the apartment buildings surrounding it were renting for less than $1500.   I actually went to one of the open houses there and  yes, of course these condominiums are nicer than the apartments, but for the most part they fit right into the neighborhood full of 2 to 3 story apartment buildings.  It’s not a bad neighborhood, but if you have this kind of money it is probably better to just buy a single family home and avoid the $300+ HOA.

    I live right down the street from this townhouse development, all the apartments still rent for less than $1500/mo, but this place sold quick, I saw the sign one day it already had the pending sign on top, (2000sqft is much larger than the 600sqft I rent, plus it is not built in the 1970s or 1960s like all the apartments).

    The townhouse across the street has been on the market several times, I think it is an REO now, http://www.redfin.com/CA/Belmont/2411-Carlmont-Dr-94002/unit-107/home/980914.
