The Cliffs
Questions about downtown living options? Scott Sandlin wouldn’t be a bad one to ask. The 30-year-old has lived in several buildings around the neighborhood during the past eight years, most recently in The Cliffs, a riverfront complex off LaHarpe Boulevard that is being converted from rental apartments to condominiums.
And he also sells real estate in the neighborhood for Moses Tucker Real Estate, including condos in The Cliffs, which have sold recently for between $135,000 and $150,000. He rented an apartment there for about 18 months before purchasing a newly refurbished condo unit in August.
In April, though, he’ll move again, this time to the more upscale Moses Tucker condo project, 300 Third, where prices start at $250,000 for an 830-square-foot one-bedroom and top out at over $725,000 for larger units.
“I just love living downtown,” he said. “I love the city feel.”
Drawbacks? There aren’t any, he said. He’s always driving the opposite direction of heavy commuter traffic, and though he said he’d love to have a grocery store and more conveniences downtown, he’s just a mile and half from the Harvest Foods and other stores in the Riverdale area.
“It’s not too big of a hassle.”
