After a trip to the Mariner Walk model center, I discovered that this development is different. The Olson Company specializes in urban infill. What does that mean? It means that they work closely with the city officials and align the development to meet city's objectives, thereby winning approval to develop parcels within urban areas. Their goal is to provide low-maintenance lifestyles in cities rather than in quiet, tame, isolated suburban areas.
The representative at the model center was very competent and informed, able to discuss area revitalization efforts, including the construction of mixed-use commercial development nearby for which the city is already seeking tenants. The city is purportedly seeking businesses to create a pedestrian destination shopping area. Furthermore she pointed out that the marina was just blocks away as is a new elementary school under construction. The BART station is a short drive, approximately four miles.
The model homes were superbly finished and decorated, although loaded with options. I wanted to run home for my suitcase and toothbrush. My partner, ever pragmatic, suggested we wait until there is a bit more shopping in the area. It's a good argument, but the new home prices are so very affordable to be just a short distance from the BART line that will allow commutes into employment centers in Contra Costa County, Alameda County and the city of San Francisco.
Mariner Walk offers four plans, but the Anchorage at approximately 1,685 sq ft. is sold out in the current phase. There is currently one Starboard at approximately 1,810 sq. ft. being offered at $375,000. The Spinnaker at approximately 1,868 sq, ft, and the Regatta at approximately 1,967 sq. ft. currently range between $380,000 and $391,300. All models have a 2 bay garage and at least 3 bedrooms and at least 2.5 bathrooms.
Mariner Walk boasts an on-site playground and views of outlying hills. Please contact me to arrange a tour of the area and showing of these homes.
