The Barclay House Apartments, 420 James Road unit 21
same unit · same street address (420 james rd), unit 21 · toured 3 Nov 2026, 15:05
A freshly painted sixties split level: a tall sunken living room, a leafy bedroom, a sunny one, a tired tile kitchen and no cooling.
What b. saw
- Two bedrooms and two baths with a split primary suite (vanity, dressing closet, toilet and stall shower room)
- Generous closets: coat, five shelf linen, hall closets and mirrored closets in both bedrooms
- Taller sunken living room, a 2022 water heater, a CO alarm in place, and $600 less than the building's remodeled unit 01
Watch outs
- Zinsco style breakers with only seven circuits in the second bedroom panel
- No air conditioning, an old cooking suite with tile counters, and shared laundry only
- Makeshift flexible furnace vent, a water heater with one seismic strap, and a patio and unit number that were not filmed
Listing claims the tour contradicted
- In unit laundry belongs to unit 01 and some other units, not unit 21. (listing claims james-029, james-055, james-060)
- Granite and stainless steel describe unit 01, not unit 21. (listing claims james-030, james-031)
- Maple or custom wood cabinets belong to other units. (listing claims james-033, james-038)
Building
- Getting in: unknown: Approach not filmed; the front door opens onto the main level with the bedrooms and baths, beside the four steps to the living room
- Water on site: unknown: Not shown: only one listing site claims a pool; none appeared in the footage or the laundry photo, and the grounds were not filmed
- Building structure: watch out: About 1961 two story stucco garden building; a listing photo shows open carports tucked under a two story wing; retrofit status unknown
- Old paint and materials: watch out: Built about 1961, so the federal lead paint disclosure applies; fresh paint over chipped cabinet and vanity edges; textured ceilings
- Packages and parking: unknown: Not shown: carports, mailboxes and package delivery were not filmed; a listing photo shows open carports tucked under a two story wing
Two bedroom, two bath split level garden apartment (Type B), first residential floor; living room four steps down; ground floor; listed at $3,995 a month on 2026-11-04; available Available now (as listed)
b. has toured 28 homes for rent in San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose and Cupertino. It is not a listing feed and does not cover every rental.
How the check works
b. reads only the text of the link, such as the street address in a Zillow or Redfin address, and never opens the listing page. It matches the address and unit against 28 homes it toured in person in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino, San Jose and San Mateo. A match on another unit in the same building is labeled as such. Recorded rents are dated, not current offers.
