TOMIKA! Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hey guys, I'm looking for a decently priced condo in the inner loop or close to the Galleria. Trying to stay under $200,000. Anyone know of any good projects or brokers that can point me in the right direction?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Don't know any brokers, but you may want to look at an apartment conversion such as the Rincon at Dunlavy and Allen Pkwy for that price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirzania Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Foreclosures are often overlooked. (Although, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't.) If I were you, I'd start with the Foreclosure Search Page and then work your way through HAR. Craigslist will either have condos listed or listings for brokers (sometimes!) who are selling. If you're looking for new construction, Urban Living has a few for your price range (also quite a few resells that aren't bad looking.) I was looking for condos before I decided that I'm too used to living in a house (with however small of a yard) and now I'm focusing more on patio and townhomes.

travelguy_73 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Generally the older 60-80's complexes/condo conversions are the most affordable. I think there are a number on Bering (HAR says 94 units on Bering currently for sale, of which 84 are 200k or under), near the Galleria. In addition, there is 2400 McCue, which I think is pretty new.HAR.com is the best way to find resale condos since you can search by street, housing type, price, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokieone Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 tree tops on post oak is a good Galleria area project I saw. An old apartment to condo conversion, its not the best on the outside, but I was impressed what you get and the style inside was actually very nice. Value was there in my opinion, 1 bdrm under 100K with the basics, a 1 bdrm with Study/ bdrm nicely outfitted for around $150. Secluded, quiet area (close to where the Orion is). I don't like maintenance fees for condos, but theirs weren't too bad. I looked at 2400 McCue just out of curiosity and it was a lot of show, but the value just wasn't there to me. Basically looked like they bought the building and sold it "as-is." Not redoing it, and its a nice building, but for $220K, I expected a lot more. Take a look at tree tops online. I would go in person, the exterior might make you think negatively (just because its an older building), but inside it is nice in my opinion.Treetops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 10 units but last time I drove by there were one or two for sale. They have 1B/1.5 and 2/2. The one bedroom had a separate study. All have garages, patios & balconies.

glindsay Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Very nice. Fantastic location. Looks like your neighbor's moving too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yep, a few of us are moving out. Each unit is different, thus the different prices of each as well. It really is a great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
