Condos for sale at Van Ness East have recently listed between $200,000 and $400,000. The residences have open floor plans that were ahead of their time, with oversized windows and sliders leading to generous balconies. The original floors were parquet, but some owners have elected to install strip hardwood. Most of the units have remodeled kitchens and baths.

The front approach to the Van Ness was recently rebuilt with a reconceptualization by Santos Architecture. The new plaza reflects the pattern of the building’s linear banding while also introducing diagonal elements that serve as walking paths, landscaping and a striking water sculpture and fountain. This contemporary feature has slate and river rocks at its bed, with large modernistic polished steel elements rising from the water.

Entering the building, visitors will be greeted by an appealing contemporary lobby with 24-hour staffed front desk. This full service condo community includes a social room, a library, a bike room, extra storage and laundry facilities on every floor for those extra heavy wash days. There is also a state of the art fitness center and not one, but two swimming pools.
