It's closer to University Mall, but nearly the entire complex is filled with college students. Going this weekend to take a look at the property before pulling the trigger. We had considered going the house route, which definitely seems like a good investment, just got kind of "lucky" with this opportunity. Hadn't even looked at condos and was not considering them.


Is this the one behind Aldi? Some of those places are more like student dorms than traditional condos. Not a biggie but you might have annoying neigbors

Yeah, I would not recommend those. Every summer they just put big dumpsters and toss furniture and mattresses out of the apartments. Seems like rager parties would be happening all over the place.

The Traditions condos down Veterans Memorial past University Mall is more mixed between undergrads, graduates, and non-students by my memory.

No. These are a little further east than the mall.

Friends of mine are doing small homes and then you dont have the monthly/yearly condo association dues. I would assume maintenance on a small home would be more as they are usually older and you have the cost of grass cutting etc.

This is actually part of what I like about the condo idea. We are only responsible for the interior of the property.
