jmitch94 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Are those townhomes really only like 10 feet wide? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 When I lived in the South End of Boston, the entire neighborhood was made of Victorian era housing that were essentially this size. It was great. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I'm sure Boston rowhouses have much nicer brick exteriors though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Back Bay, South End, North End, and much of Southie (South Boston) was mostly brick but a lot of triple deckers in Southie, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain neighborhoods were wood framed. Across the river, Cambridge is a mix of brick and wood but Somerville (Slumerville) is almost entirely wood. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of houses with this kind of modern siding aren't going to age well aesthetically speaking. The color palettes are so austere, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Wonder what types of renter this will attract. It's not that much cheaper monthly than the rest of the cookie cutter wrap apartments, and probably more per square foot. And you miss out on the pool, gym (?) etc. I'm assuming it has an elevator but maybe just one slow one. I don't know how much the savings on the structured parking and amenities will actually be passed down, and having a multistory parking is great for hurricane season.

Studemont to the right is pretty deep because it goes under the railroad and the terrain drops of dramatically to the north towards White Oak Bayou from this site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adjacent railroad wasn't built between the bayous just because it was convenient. It's the high point. I'd assume the property is a foot or more above street level and then it's another foot or two to get into all the vehicles. I would think most cars that flood in garages are parked on subterranean levels. Even if 100-200 cars flooded, I'd say that's preferred to 50-100 apartments that would flood at a wrap apartment. A centimeter of water will ruin a home's floors, but it takes a lot more to get into vehicles. I actually see this podium style as preferred. 12 hours ago, Squirrel said: Wonder what types of renter this will attract.

I don't know how much the savings on the structured parking and amenities will actually be passed down, and having a multistory parking is great for hurricane season. The 2/2 townhome rentals at this property are about the same size/price as my place. My neighbors who rent them out lease them within days and rarely even get a sign up in the yard. That size townhome (1,400-1,500 sq ft) is hard to find still. It looks as if they are leasing for about the same price per square foot too. I don't see pricing for the apartments, but $50-$100/month can matter to a lot of people. Even if the price per sq. ft. is about the same, I'd say it's really the overall annual savings that matter more to most people looking to reduce expenses. If I wanted to save cash but needed to live in the area (save on gas/insurance/not waste hours driving), I'd sacrifice 100 sq. ft. and a pool to save $1,200/year. No question. Ditch the car and your savings pile up quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Nobody's going to mention how the apartment block pic looks like a self storage building? Not keen on Ribbed Tin/Sheet Metal as a building material (and mixed with wood), but the colors are refreshing and the design is cute.

I've never seen corrugated sheet metal used so much in residential buildings than Houston. My favorite is those tin boxes in midtown by Camden city centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
