Sage at Cupertino ground floor one bedroom (unit number not shown; likely Q103)
Updated November 10, 2026 · By b. (findwithb.com)
A vacant ground floor one bedroom at Sage at Cupertino, a 1971 Essex garden community that lies inside San Jose city limits despite its name. The front door opens from a covered, fenced patio straight into a long living and dining room; every window (the big patio window, a window over the wall air conditioner and the bedroom window) faces the same courtyard side, roughly south, and the rooms were full of midday sun. The interior is freshly refreshed: wood look plank in every room including the bedroom and bathroom, white shaker cabinets, gray subway tile, but black counters with white chips that look like a refinished coating rather than the quartz the listing promises. The galley kitchen has no window and holds a GE top freezer refrigerator with no ice maker, a GE smooth top electric range with a self clean oven standing right against the refrigerator, an LG MVEM1721F microwave hood made June 2025, a stainless dishwasher and a disposal. A GE GUD24ESSMWW stacked compact washer and electric dryer, made January 2019, sits behind a mirrored sliding door in the hall next to a storage closet. Heat is electric baseboard heaters with a dial thermostat; the only cooling is one LG through the wall air conditioner in the living room, so the bedroom has no cooling or fan of its own and no ceiling light. The windowless bathroom has a glossy white tile surround that looks reglazed, an older recessed medicine cabinet and an exhaust fan. A Yale touchscreen deadbolt and an Alloy SmartHome hub (SmartRent) provide keyless entry; Kidde alarms are on the living room wall and above the bedroom door.

Inside the apartment
Walking in
You step off a sunny, painted gray patio striped with shadow, through a navy door with a black glass keypad, straight into the long living room: no entry hall, just pale warm gray oak look planks running away from you with bright patches of sun lying across them. The walls are a soft greige over crisp white baseboards, a white baseboard heater runs low along the side wall, and at the far end mirrored sliding doors catch the light where the hall begins. It looks just turned over: empty, clean and freshly painted.
Light and windows
Every window faces the same way, roughly south, onto the courtyard: a big slider onto the patio and a smaller window over the wall air conditioner in the living room, and one window in the bedroom. At ten to noon on a clear November day the sun stood high in the dining window and laid bright, sharp edged patches across the plank floors of the living room, the dining end and the bedroom, so winter days here should be sunny through the middle hours. In summer the high sun likely passes mostly overhead, and the upstairs balcony that roofs your patio shades the big patio window. Mornings and late afternoons will be softer and indirect. The galley kitchen and the bathroom have no window at all, so they run on a drum light and a fan light even at noon. After dark the living room has only the light on the dining end ceiling fan, and the bedroom has no ceiling light, so lamps do the work. Vertical blinds on every window leak light at their edges.
Space and layout
The plan is simple and a little long. The front door opens from the patio near the middle of one long living and dining room, so you are in the room the moment you step in. The sitting end runs toward the hall and its mirrored doors; the dining end, under the ceiling fan, sits by the second window and the opening to the galley. The galley is a dead end corridor of two facing runs with a narrow aisle: one person cooks, and an open dishwasher or oven door blocks it. A short hall holds mirrored sliding doors over the laundry alcove and a shelved storage closet, then the bedroom door and, at the end, the bathroom, all tucked out of sight of the front door. The bedroom is a plain rectangle with its window over a baseboard heater and a wide reach in closet along a side wall, so the bed goes against one of the two remaining walls. Baseboard heaters along two living room walls decide where a sofa can stand. Ceilings are ordinary and flat. The covered patio adds a small outdoor room for a table and two chairs or a row of pots, and you reach your door without climbing stairs.
Sound during the visit
Calm inside at midday, with one steady sound. With the windows shut, nothing came in from the courtyard, the street or the home overhead: no traffic, voices or music. The main sound was the soft whir and faint motor hum of the ceiling fan, left turning over the dining end, which kept the living room, the dining end and the galley at a moderate level rather than hushed, among the livelier living spaces measured on the tours; with the fan off they would likely sit calmer. The bedroom, at the far end of the hall, was the stillest room, about in the middle of all the toured bedrooms and among the stillest of the homes filmed on the same phone, with nothing heard through its window behind the hedge. The empty, hard floored rooms ring: cabinet doors and drawers shut with sharp clacks, the microwave door with a loud clack, the bedroom closet door banged its jamb, and the front door gave a small squeak, likely its hinges, before it thudded shut. Underfoot the plank is quiet, with soft taps and no creak anywhere, and as a ground floor home there is no one below to hear you; rugs and furniture will soften the echo. The bathroom's exhaust fan adds a faint low hum while its light is on. What the visit could not test is the neighbors: this is the ground floor of a 1971 garden building, likely wood framed, with a home directly above, and no footsteps came through at midday, but whether anyone was home is unknown; the upstairs balcony forms your patio roof, and a steel stair and upstairs balconies face your patio across the courtyard. The stacked washer and dryer sit across the hall from the bedroom door and the wall air conditioner sits in the living room; none were run, so their noise is unknown. Stevens Creek Boulevard's bus stops are about a block away and review snippets rate noise the lowest of their categories, so listen again in the evening or on a weekend.

Listing claim excerpt: “Positioned in Cupertino, CA, the center of Silicon Valley and home to some of the largest tech giants in the world, Sage at Cupertino apartments provide a comfortable retreat for tech mavens and tech novices alike.; Just beyond our grounds, you will find that…”
Misleading. The footage shows only courtyards, neighboring garden buildings and houses beyond the fence; city limits cannot be seen.
The name and mailing address say Cupertino, but the site is inside San Jose city limits (Census geocoder and the manager's own property list), so San Jose's rent and just cause ordinances apply, not Cupertino's.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Our community is comprised of residences featuring traditional layouts enhanced with contemporary touches.”
Supported. A traditional garden apartment one bedroom: long living and dining room, galley kitchen, hall closets with laundry, bedroom and bath, with refreshed finishes.
Older layout: windowless kitchen and bath, all windows on one side.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “Choose from studio, one bedroom, or two bedroom floor plans, each offering the flexibility to design a home to suit your specific needs.; Studio • 1 Bath 3D Tour $1,964, $2,410 435 ft 2 0 Available; 1 Bed • 1 Bath 3D Tour $2,579, $2,989 625 ft 2 0 Available; 2…”
Not verified on the tour. The toured home is a one bedroom, one bath; its plan name and size were not shown.
Sage has two one bedroom plans (1A at 685 to 690 sq ft and a 625 sq ft plan); ask which this is.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Our lighter flooring and countertops combine to create a living space that is bright and inviting.”
Partly supported. Light warm gray plank floors throughout and bright south facing rooms at midday, but the counters are glossy black with white chips.
Lighter flooring yes; lighter countertops no in this unit.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “Each apartment interior features wood style flooring, designer kitchen cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances.”
Partly supported. Wood style plank floor in every room (no carpet), white painted shaker cabinets, stainless GE refrigerator and range, LG microwave and a stainless dishwasher; the counters are black with white chips and look like a refinished coating rather than quartz.
Quartz countertops are not what this unit has; the rest matches.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4Listing claim excerpt: “Select homes include an in unit washer and dryer for your convenience as well as a private balcony or patio.”
Supported. This unit has an in unit GE GUD24ESSMWW stacked washer and electric dryer in a hall alcove and a private covered patio.
The laundry center is a compact 24 in model made January 2019; the outdoor space is a ground floor patio, not a balcony.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “Within our pet friendly community, enjoy a host of amenities. Take a dip in the pool, work up a sweat in our on site fitness center, and enjoy our community playground.; Assigned Parking, Fitness Center, Swimming Pool, Storage, Business Center, Outdoor Space,…”
Not verified on the tour. No pool, spa, fitness center, clubroom, workspace, playground, barbecue area, storage, bike storage or parking was filmed; courtyards with lawns and paths were seen from the windows.
Tour the amenities and parking in person; the elevator's location is not stated and the buildings seen are walk ups with exterior stairs.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Price reflected is base rent and does not include mandatory or optional fees. Detailed fee information and fee schedules can be found on the community's Leasing Info page on our Essex website.; Application Fee Per applicant. Agent application fee. Contact…”
Not verified on the tour. Fees, deposits and lease terms cannot be seen in a tour.
Prices are base rent only and the mandatory fee schedule could not be read; get the full monthly cost in writing.
Listing claim excerpt: “We offer Self Guided Tours by Appointment Only.”
Not verified on the tour. The clip shows no leasing staff; a key set lay on the kitchen counter.
Listing claim excerpt: “Pet Friendly Community playground Designer kitchen cabinetry Quartz countertops Stainless steel appliances Private balcony or patio Wood style flooring”
Partly supported. Seen: designer style white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, a private patio and wood style flooring. Not as described: the counters are black flecked, not quartz.
Quartz countertops are not in this unit.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4Listing claim excerpt: “Air Conditioning, Ceiling Fan, Dishwasher, Balcony, Hardwood Floor, Central Heat, Walk in Closet, In Unit Laundry, Stainless Steel Appliances, Heating, Microwave, Dryer, Quartz Countertops, Keyless Entry, Smart Home Technology, Modern Bathroom, Ultrafast…”
Misleading. Seen as tagged: ceiling fan, dishwasher, in unit laundry, dryer, stainless appliances, heating, microwave, keyless entry (Yale keypad), smart home technology (Alloy SmartHome hub), courtyard access and a refreshed interior. Not as tagged: cooling is one LG through the wall unit in the living room, not central; heat is electric baseboards, not central heat; the floor is wood look plank, not hardwood; the outdoor space is a ground floor patio, not a balcony; the closets are reach in, not walk in; the counters are not quartz. Internet speed was not checked.
Several plan tags (central heat, hardwood floor, balcony, walk in closet, quartz countertops) do not describe this unit, and Air Conditioning means one wall unit with none in the bedroom.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4 · Tour reference 5 · Tour reference 6 · Tour reference 7 · Tour reference 8Listing claim excerpt: “Corner/End Location, View, Refreshed Kitchen and Bath, Southern Exposure, Refreshed Unit Interior; Courtyard Access, Wood style Flooring, Corner/End Location, Refreshed Kitchen and Bath; Corner/End Location, Refreshed Unit Interior”
Not verified on the tour. These tags describe the studio and two bedroom plans, not this one bedroom.
Listing claim excerpt: “Plan 1A 1 bed 1 bath 685+ sqft $3,047, $3,347 /mo 2 units available; 1 Bed • 1 Bath 3D Tour $3,347 685 ft 2 1 Available Q103 $3,347 3D Tour Available Now; 1 Bed • 1 Bath 3D Tour $3,047 690 ft 2 1 Available A209 $3,047 3D Tour Available Dec 7 th , 2026”
Not verified on the tour. The toured one bedroom is vacant and on the ground floor; its number was not filmed.
Q103 (floor 1, available now, 685 sq ft, 3,347 USD) fits a ground floor unit; A209 (floor 2, December 7, 690 sq ft, 3,047 USD) does not. Confirm the unit number before relying on either price.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Plan 2C 2 bed 2 bath 907 sqft $4,087, $4,129 /mo 3 units available; 2 Beds • 2 Bath 3D Tour $4,087, $4,129 907 ft 2 3 Available L202 $4,109 3D Tour Available Now View L201 $4,129 3D Tour Available Now View E202 $4,087 3D Tour Available Dec 7 th , 2026”
Not verified on the tour. The toured home has one bedroom, so it is none of the listed two bedrooms.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Units 230; Total Unit Count: 230; 236 units; elevator; courtyard; 685-907 sq ft; from $3,279”
Not verified on the tour. The number of apartments cannot be counted from the footage.
Trulia's 236 conflicts with 230 elsewhere.
Listing claim excerpt: “AT&T Inc. 1000.0 1000.0 Comcast Corporation 987.0 35.0 Cruzio Holdings, LLC 100.0 100.0 ViaSat, Inc. 100.0 3.0 Etheric Networks, Inc. 80.0 80.0 Data from June 2020 provided by the FCC”
Not verified on the tour. No Ethernet jack, modem or router was seen; a small round pass through plate is low on the bedroom wall.
Ask where the internet line enters and which provider serves the building.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Central heat Climate controlled environment”
Contradicted by the tour. Heat comes from electric baseboard heaters with a manual dial thermostat, and cooling from one wall unit; no ducts, grilles or central equipment were seen.
Not central heat or a climate controlled system: rooms heat separately with resistance heaters.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “Extra storage In unit features; smart home technology and ample storage”
Partly supported. A hall closet with shelves and a rod behind mirrored doors, a wide reach in bedroom closet, a tall kitchen pantry and an Alloy SmartHome hub by the door.
Smart home technology is there; storage is ordinary for a one bedroom and no separate storage unit was seen.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Walk in closet More closet space on average”
Misleading. The bedroom closet is a wide reach in closet behind two sliding doors; no walk in closet was seen in the unit.
Expect reach in closets.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Elevator Improved accessibility features”
Not verified on the tour. The buildings seen are two story walk ups with exterior steel stairs; this ground floor unit needs no stairs or elevator.
If you need an elevator for an upper floor unit, ask which building has it.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “In unit Laundry Air Conditioning Fitness Center Pool Controlled Access Linencloset Hardwoodflooring Ceilingfan Heat Microwave Balcony, Deck, Patio Dishwasher Online Resident Portal Parking Wireless Internet Access Night Patrol On site Maintenance Bbq Area…”
Partly supported. Seen: in unit laundry, a ceiling fan, heat, a microwave, a dishwasher, a patio, a linen style hall closet with shelves and a wall air conditioner. Not as listed: the floor is wood look plank, not hardwood. The community amenities were not filmed.
Air conditioning is a single living room wall unit.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4 · Tour reference 5Listing claim excerpt: “Cat Monthly Pet Fee Monthly. 2 cats max.

Pets must be spayed/neutered. $75 Pet Deposit One time deposit per pet. $500; Pets must be…”
Not verified on the tour. Pet terms cannot be seen in a tour; the covered patio and plank floors suit a pet.
Zumper and Rentable disagree on pet deposits and rent; get them in writing.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “one Assigned Covered space with each apartment home; Additional Assigned Uncovered spaces may be available to rent for $50 per month, and Assigned Covered spaces for $75 per month”
Not verified on the tour. Parking was not filmed; a parked car shows beyond the patio fence.
Ask where the included covered space is relative to this unit.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “backed by our 30-day move in satisfaction guarantee”
Not verified on the tour. Lease terms cannot be seen in a tour.
The terms of the move in guarantee were not seen; get them in writing before relying on them.
Listing claim excerpt: “$3,069 to $4,017; Base rent $2,357, $3,037; $2,659, $10.8k; 8 units available • Pets welcome • A/C”
Not verified on the tour. Prices cannot be checked in a tour.
Several snippet ranges are stale; the Zumper and Rentable figures from November 10 are current.
Listing claim excerpt: “Sage at Cupertino 175 Calvert Drive San Jose, CA 230 1971; built in 1969; largely renovated by a prior owner before 2006”
Partly supported. Consistent with a 1970s building given a new interior: electric baseboard heat, a through the wall air conditioner sleeve, an older recessed metal medicine cabinet and a reglazed looking tub surround sit beside new plank floors, shaker cabinets, subway tile and a June 2025 microwave.
Finishes are new; systems such as heat and cooling are original in type; the laundry center dates from January 2019.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4 · Tour reference 5Listing claim excerpt: “175 Calvert Drive has a Walk Score of 65 out of 100. This location is Somewhat Walkable so some errands can be accomplished on foot. This location is in the Calvert neighborhood in San Jose.”
Not verified on the tour. The neighborhood was not filmed.
Walk Score 65 on walkscore.com; other sites report lower scores.

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 continuous clip of about 5 minutes 35 seconds, recorded at 11:50 am Pacific on Monday November 9): the patio, the front door and lock, the living and dining room with the air conditioner, hub, thermostat and alarm, the whole kitchen with the refrigerator, freezer, microwave, oven, dishwasher, cabinets, pantry and under sink opened, the hall closet and the laundry alcove with the washer lid and dryer door opened, the bathroom with the vanity and medicine cabinet opened, and the bedroom with its closet. Not covered: the unit number, the patio gate and the route from parking, the building exterior beyond the patio, mailboxes, amenities and the leasing office; the breaker panel and water heater; any running water, element, washer, dryer, heater or air conditioner (the ceiling fan was running). No speech. The file's container time reads 7:24 pm, but the QuickTime creation date, the full sun and the microwave clock show it was filmed just before noon.
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. Original media and raw labels are not part of this public release. External sources support research, not proof that an appliance worked in the apartment.
