Diridon West corner two bedroom (unit number not filmed)

Updated November 10, 2026 · By b. (findwithb.com)

A two bedroom, two bath corner apartment in a 2021 mid rise west of downtown San Jose, filmed vacant while turnover work was still under way. A long entry hall with a coat closet and a recessed niche of white shelves runs to an open great room: a one wall kitchen with an island holding the sink and dishwasher, and a living room with tall windows on two walls and a glass door to a glass railed balcony that looks over trees, single family roofs and gardens. The second bedroom opens off the hall, with a walk in closet and a bath that also has a door to the hall, so it doubles as the guest bath. The primary bedroom, reached by a short passage past the laundry closet, has a ceiling fan, a large window with an operable sash and morning sun, and a bath that leads on to a second walk in closet. Both baths have single sink quartz vanities, alcove tubs with marble look porcelain tile to the ceiling, wall cabinets over the toilets, and the primary has a tall linen cabinet. The kitchen is a matching Whirlpool stainless package: side by side refrigerator with door ice and water, a front control electric glass top range run from touch pads, an over the range microwave that is the only hood, and a front control dishwasher, under white quartz look counters with a stone strip backsplash and handleless wood grain cabinets. A stacked Whirlpool front load washer and dryer sits in a hall closet. Ducted supply grilles in every room and a large return over a hall closet point to central forced air, run from a basic digital thermostat; the equipment was not seen. A NextCentury submeter display in the coat closet and no water heater in the unit fit the cost guide's usage based water and hot water billing. Wood look plank covers the hall, kitchen and living room; both bedrooms and both closets are carpeted; every window has slat blinds.

Inside the apartment

Walking in

You start in a long, narrow entry hall with glossy dark brown plank underfoot, a tall recessed niche of white shelves set into the wall ahead on your right, and a coat closet by the door. At the far end the hall opens like a frame onto the great room, where tall windows on two walls glow with red and gold leaves and morning sun lies in bright stripes across the floor. It feels clean, crisp and newly built, though a step ladder, cleaning cloths on the island and a patched wall tell you the turnover was still under way.

Light and windows

This is a bright, sunny home in the morning. The great room sits on a corner, with a glass balcony door and tall windows on one wall and more tall windows on the next, and in mid morning on a clear November day direct sun poured through the slat blinds and laid striped patches across the plank floor, up the walls and over the island counter, so these windows face roughly east to south. The primary bedroom window takes the same morning sun, which dappled its carpet; with slat blinds rather than solar shades, that room will wake bright and early. A tall, narrow window at the end of the cooking wall gives the kitchen its own leafy glow, which many new kitchens lack. The second bedroom faces the other way and had no direct sun, so it reads softer and cooler. Afternoon sun was not seen: the great room likely stays bright through midday and turns gentler later. Neither bathroom has a window, so they live on globe light bars, a light over each tub and their exhaust fans. After dark, recessed downlights cover the hall, the kitchen and the living area, and both bedrooms have ceiling fans with globe lights, so evenings do not depend on lamps.

Space and layout

The plan is long and well split. The entry hall, with the coat closet, the niche shelves and the thermostat, runs straight into one open great room: a one wall kitchen faces a long island holding the sink and dishwasher, and past it the living area fills the bright corner, with room for a sofa and a dining table by the windows and a glass door to the balcony. The second bedroom opens off the hall right where it meets the great room; it has its own walk in closet and a bath with two doors, one from the bedroom and one from the hall, so it doubles as the guest bath. The primary bedroom is tucked off the kitchen end of the hall, down a short plank passage past the laundry closet, and its bath leads straight on to a second walk in closet, so getting dressed means walking through the bathroom. Storage is generous: two walk in closets with track shelving, a coat closet, the hall niche, wall cabinets over both toilets, a tall linen cabinet and a full run of kitchen cabinets. Ceilings are flat and ordinary, with soffits along the kitchen and hall. The island showed no overhang for stools, so meals happen at a table. The balcony was not entered, so how much it holds is unknown, and in the primary bedroom the electrical panel and the bath door share one wall, which limits where a dresser can go.

Sound during the visit

Inside, the rooms felt hushed. The walkthrough recording stayed quiet on a late Monday morning, with only doors, drawers and the refrigerator breaking the stillness, and no train horn, traffic or neighbor stood out. The main rooms look over back gardens and the roofs of detached houses rather than West Julian Street or the pool courtyard, which likely helps. Still, this is a big seven story building over shops and a garage, so you likely have neighbors beside and above you, and one resident review complains of thin walls. Diridon Station, with Caltrain, ACE, Amtrak and light rail, is about half a mile away and the SAP Center arena is near it, so horns and event night crowds may carry at other hours; nothing was measured at night or on an event evening. Hard plank runs through the hall and great room, so footsteps and chair legs will sound there, while carpet softens both bedrooms. The bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the great room, so sound between them has the whole open room to cross. The stacked washer and dryer sit in a hall closet on the way to the primary bedroom, and the air handler is likely behind the hall closet door with the big return grille; neither was run.

Recorded condition: common areas not filmed

  • Diridon West (formerly Hanover Diridon), 717 W Julian St, San Jose CA 95126 (also given as 715 W Julian St), in the Garden Alameda area just west of downtown, about half a mile from Diridon Station; managed by Hines.

    External researchResearch source 1 · Research source 2 · Research source 3
  • A seven story mixed use building completed in August 2021: about 26,000 sq ft of ground floor retail with a lobby and controlled access garage, and 249 apartments on floors 2 to 7 around a pool courtyard, with a rooftop skydeck. Some listing snippets say six stories.

  • Utilities: electric and gas are usage based through third parties; hot water heating and water and sewer are usage based; a 6.50 USD utility admin billing charge and a 40 USD community amenity charge are added to base rent every month. The tour found a NextCentury submeter display in the coat closet and no water heater in the unit, which fits usage based water and central hot water billing.

  • Completed in 2021, so the state Tenant Protection Act rent cap does not apply until about 2036 and the San Jose Apartment Rent Ordinance (pre 1979 buildings) does not apply; the San Jose Tenant Protection Ordinance (just cause) likely does. Renewal increases are set by the market.

Source and limits

Source: b.’s visit and the structured apartment record. Interior conditions can change after the visit. Light and sound reflect the recorded circumstances, not every time of day. The record is not a professional inspection or a guarantee of availability.

Covered (one clip of about 3 minutes 40 seconds, one short spoken phrase): the entry hall, coat closet (opened), niche shelves, second bedroom and its walk in closet (opened), the second bath with its wall cabinet opened, the great room, the balcony door and the view through it, the kitchen with base cabinets, uppers, a drawer, the sink base and the freezer opened, the range and microwave controls, the dishwasher front, the laundry closet (opened), the primary bedroom, the primary bath with its wall cabinet and linen cabinet opened, and the primary walk in closet. Not covered: the outside of the building, the approach, lobby, corridor, elevator, garage, mail room and every amenity; the unit number and the entry door up close; the balcony itself; the hall closet under the return grille (likely the air handler); the electrical panel interior; the fresh food side of the refrigerator, the oven, microwave and dishwasher interiors, so no appliance rating label was read; and any test with running water, the cooktop, the disposal, the laundry or the heating and cooling.

Confidence values are the original record’s estimates, not calibrated probabilities. Some records include a stored frame check that does not establish the statement by itself; those details are marked for confirmation. Research and interpretation remain separate from observations.

Tour references and research sources

Tour references identify the stored evidence record, with the position in its source clip where available. Different clips have separate clocks.
