Luxury Condos in West Sacramento: New Listing from Elizabeth Weintraub
1260 Riva Dr, #5, West Sacramento, CA 95691
When you’re looking for luxury condos in West Sacramento, you owe it to yourself to check out Riva on the River. These condos were built at the height of the real estate market in 2005, just before the crash, so many of these units had been short sales during the early downturn of the market. But that dip in the Sacramento real estate market has rebounded pretty much by now, and condos in this complex are selling like hotcakes. Although, come to think of it, using that simile, I don’t know how well iHop is doing these days. Who cares. The association fee by itself at Riva on the River is reason enough to buy. It’s only $220 a month. That’s relatively affordable as compared to the fees for competitive homeowner associations. Why, a few of the larger luxury condos at the Sawyer Residences are rumored to be planning an HOA assessment of nearly $4,000 a month!
This new listing is like a gem, though, unlike probably any other of the luxury condos in West Sacramento. The reason is the sellers bought this condo for cash and have never lived in it year-round. It’s a vacation home. And it looks like nobody has ever lived there. Everything is spotless and so new and shiny and pretty. No chips in the sink or counters. Immaculate condition. It’s like it’s been preserved in a time warp.
The condo is situated with northern orientation. The seller say this positioning keeps it cool in the summer and they rarely run the AC. It also reportedly stays warm in the winter, enough that they usually do not turn on the heat. It is also a first-floor unit and is a single-level, which is in high demand in West Sacramento right now. It features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Off the entrance is a formal dining area and a chandelier. The family room features a fireplace, and the kitchen has granite counters, plus a dining bar in addition to space for a breakfast table. One of the other special attributes is the covered patio accessible from the master suite. I’ve seen some owners in the complex grow vines that provide more privacy on the patio.
You’ll also get a two-car garage with an extra storage room, maybe 6-feet by 8-feet for all that stuff that has to go somewhere, you just don’t know where to put it. Pets are allowed by the HOA, and there is a swimming pool and recreation facilities. Plus, the location of the unit is toward the back of the complex, close to the river levee, so traffic is at a minimum in that particular area.
Come check out this complex of luxury condos in West Sacramento at our open house scheduled for Sunday, May 7th, from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. 1260 Riva Dr, #5, West Sacramento, CA 95691 is offered exclusively by Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate, at $275K.

A New Condo Listing at Riva on the River
Riva on the River condo Community Center offers a clubhouse and pool.
Because I agreed to take a new condo listing at Riva on the River today, a day of many appointments crammed on top of each other, including our Lyon agent awards celebration tonight at the Sacramento Hyatt, my husband says it did not surprise him that I agreed to do it. He says I am a crammer of appointments. It adds a small amount of pressure to my business life, and many agents would not take on such a hectic schedule. But it’s also where I perform best.
I can’t stand to be bored and idle. It would drive me nuts. I’m just not wired that way. I am always busy and constantly multi-tasking, focused on achieving stellar quality. It doesn’t burn me out, it’s invigorating. OK, and maybe a little crazy, but it’s a system that works well for me. I am also not missing the chance to accept a new condo listing at Riva on the River. It’s one of my favorite complexes in West Sacramento.
Once the bridge over Broadway connects West Sacramento to Land Park, it will be an even more direct shot for me to drive to Riva on the River, and will take about 3 minutes instead of 10 minutes. It’s a great location for a condo complex, to be nestled so close the levee, near downtown Sacramento, yet in the middle of newer single family homes. There is no place exactly like this in West Sacramento.
The HOA dues are reasonable. Swimming pool, clubhouse, nice amenities, a little over $200 a month. Most of the units have balconies or patios, sometimes several. Attached garages. The layout is configured in such a way to maximize privacy. I recently closed a one-story condo in that complex for the highest price per-square-foot of any recent sale. This Riva on the River condo is a 3-story, the largest in the complex at 1,751 square feet. I can’t wait to see it and meet the seller.
So when the seller asked if I could squeeze her in tomorrow, between my appointments, I said all right. I just have to make it to the Hyatt by 6:30 to meet up with the Elizabeth Weintraub Team and all of the other Lyon agents I’ve worked with last year who are showing up to celebrate. I imagine Lyon will bestow some sort of top ranking producer award in my direction. You know how sometimes you dash out the door for the day and think what am I forgetting? Pants? Shoes? Car keys? Check. I hope to show up fully dressed for this event.
If not, so what, at least I have my new listing in Riva on the River to work on when I get home. You will see it most likely in MLS come Monday. Under $300K. For more details, call your West Sacramento Realtor, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916.233.6759.
Coming Soon Luxury Condo at Riva on the River
Entrance to 2480 San Marco St #6, West Sacramento, CA 95691
Over the years I’ve sold a few condos at Riva on the River in West Sacramento, but this luxury condo is the most beautiful and located in the nicest location possible. It is a highly desirable lower level unit and a corner condo, with a pleasant view of the residential area off in the distance, the greenbelt and the Sacramento levee behind it. Quite private, actually, with double patios, which is an unusual feature not normally found in these condos.
The front patio is enclosed and open to the complex. The master bedroom patio is very private with trees and vines forming a natural screen that separate the world from the interior, a secret spot to sit and sip morning coffee without anybody being able to see you. The master bath has been updated, with a California walk-in closet, separate shower, designer colors, dual sinks, dressing table and a tub for soaking away all of your cares.
When you enter the condo, the first thing you notice is how bright and open it is. Granite flooring greets you and leads to the dining area and into the kitchen where you’ll find bamboo floors. The stainless and black appliances stay; the counters are granite, and the maple cabinets feature pull-out trays for convenience. There is even a pantry closet.
In the spacious living room, there is a gas fireplace that turns on like magic with the tap of a button. You’ll find storage over the fireplace for decorative art, a panel television or whatever your imagination can conjure.
Overall, this Riva on the River condo features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, plus a laundry room, and the washer and dryer can stay. It’s turnkey, ready to move into, plus you get a two-car tandem garage. The HOA dues are $220 a month and the amenities include a swimming pool, BBQ area, clubhouse and recreation room.
This luxury condo at Riva on the River will be released to MLS on Thursday, October 15, 2015, listed by Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate at the affordable price of $231,000.
