Affordable Alternative to Downtown Condos: Grandview Heights
As city leaders and the community as a whole have been buzzing about the downtown condo developments, another community has been quietly becoming one of the hottest areas for real estate in Columbus for graduate students, young professionals and medical residents alike: Grandview Heights.
Although many young professionals and grad students want to live close to where things are happening, many do not want the parking hassles, noise, and most importantly, the prices associated with downtown living.
The prices of downtown condos have raised while other prices have stabilized, and in some cases dipped a little bit, depending on the area. The downtown prices have risen to a point where many young professionals and especially students are not comfortable with the pricing, especially for the space and the parking hassles, and that is where Grandview comes into play.
Grandview Heights offers condos and small homes in a small, close-knit community that gives the feeling of suburban living with the conveniences of being close to downtown. With downtown Columbus and the Arena District only a five minute taxi ride away, this community has become very attractive to young professionals.
With apartments being converted into condos starting in the low $100,000’s it is the best of both worlds for many Columbus-area young professionals. Many of these condos allow you to choose granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, a stackable washer and dryer and even the option of a brand new furnace and A/C, and still have a final price of under $130,000 with a low condo fee that includes heat and a pool.
This is a great community and a great value and I encourage anyone that might be interested in these condos or the homes that start around $150,000 to take a look at this community. Feel free to give me a call directly at 614-750-2144.
