1700 Civic Ctr Dr

A mid-1970s low-rise condominium complex in central Santa Clara, the property is a single-story-to-mid-rise collection of attached units built in 1972 that primarily offers one-bedroom homes with occasional larger end-unit plans. The architecture is straightforward and utilitarian, with a focus on practical living: walk-up corridors, secure entry points, and underground gated parking with assigned spaces. Interiors vary by unit and reflect frequent individual remodels — common features include open living/dining footprints, sizable walk-in closets, breakfast bars or areas, updated kitchens with stone or laminate counters, and in-unit washer/dryer where permitted. The complex provides a cluster of shared amenities oriented toward social use and recreation: a large swimming pool, clubhouse/rec room with game tables and sauna, on-site laundry facilities, and additional storage lockers. Landscaping includes private patios or small yard areas for some ground-floor units, while upper floors benefit from valley and foothill views. Management emphasizes security — gated vehicle access and controlled building entry — and the HOA supports maintenance of exterior grounds, pool, and common rooms. The location places residents within walking or short driving distance of Santa Clara University, shopping centers, transit, and major tech employers, offering an understated suburban-urban lifestyle with commuter convenience.
