Property Line: Condos downtown under $200,000
Whether you're using it as a pied-à-terre for weekending in town or downsizing to simplify your life to find minimalist zen, condos are a great option.
This time of year is susceptible to over-the-top luxury and anxiety-inducing spending levels. So we wanted to find some bargains downtown for those of us who don't have room for a seven-figure mortgage.
2019 Spring Garden Street #2F
$199,000
Square footage: 445
Who needs a massive kitchen when you live a seven-minute walk from Pizzeria Vetri? Who needs a back yard when Fairmount Park beckons? This unit has lots of built-ins and includes a separate storage area.
1010 Race Street 5LM
$197,500
Square footage: 1,234
At more than 1,200 square feet, this hardly feels like downsizing. There's a bidet in there! And a Jacuzzi! Petit kitchen with a peek-a-boo window will be useful on days you aren't eating dim sum or picking up food at adjacent Reading Terminal Market.
604-36 S. Washington Square #1404
$199,900
Square footage: 600
This is an address with cachet. We love the L-shaped sleeping alcove that keeps the bed out of the way. HOAs don't include parking or access to the rooftop swim club, but they do include all your utilities.
