Tuesday Two Hundred: Get The Penthouse Lifestyle Without The High Price Tag

Share News:

No, not that Penthouse! Get your mind out of the gutter! 😉

Seriously, though, this one-bedroom, one-bath penthouse at the Renaissance feels huge with a tiny price tag. Unit No. 1615PH, marketed by Sue Krider of Allie Beth Allman & Associates, is a dream!

There are tons of updates, including a great eat-in kitchen where you won’t mind doing dishes. Why, you ask? Because you get a great view of downtown! And it’s C-H-E-A-P at just $212,000.

Other things to love: This penthouse is two stories, so if you’re entertaining, no need to clean up the bedroom because it’s on another level! This Turtle Creek condo comes with two covered parking spaces, which is pretty awesome in itself. The closet is pretty spacious with an excellent organizer inside.

There’s also a tiled balcony with a view of Turtle Creek. It’s plenty roomy for a bistro set to nibble on breakfast while you sip your coffee.

Now, I’m no expert on HOA fees, so I sometimes get tripped up by them. So tell me: Is $413 monthly too much for this property? Can lofty HOA fees put you off a home you love?

    It's hard to tell if those HOAs are too much without knowing the square footage. Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough, but the listing site didn't have it either. Looking at the pictures and considering the two car spaces, I'd say no, they're very reasonable. And the price looks like a tremendous bargain for a downtown view PH level!

    This is a fantastic deal. I used to do on site sales at this property and I remember this unit, in particular. It has some knockout upgrades that the other units like it do not have. And there are only a few of this floor plan, so it is unique. I would eat this one up! And no, those dues are not high. Not at all. Sell it, Sue!

    Mortgage, taxes, utilities, HOA for 1 bed = $3000 monthly isn't cheap for many buyers..
