Downtown Phoenix residential properties are a good buy today. But it’s not surprising that you might be a bit nervous about buying a property right now even if it is in Downtown Phoenix. As you probably know, Downtown Phoenix has been in revitalization mode for the last number of years until the economic crash stalled almost everything. The good thing is that the real estate bubble burst has reduced prices back to something that regular folk can afford. There are many one and 2 bedroom condos priced under $100k that are within walking distance to a light rail stop and there are some very nice Phoenix Historic Homeswhose prices have come back down into the low $200k. Most of these prices are around 50% less then they were 2 and 3 years ago but as they say, “that was then, this is now.” Home prices from 2 and 3 years ago have no baring on the value today. Seller’s hate to hear that but facts are facts. So what do you do now? Call me to see if there is a property out there that meets your needs and rest assured that you are getting a Native Phoenician that specializes in Downtown and Central Phoenix and really understands the market and the neighborhoods.

Live/work condo in phoenix
There are many condo communities that boast Live/Work units in the Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe downtowns but only Phoenix has true Live/Work units and there are only 10 of them and one is finally on the market. This is a great unit with a store front that is street level and living space upstairs and the two are connected making this a true Live/Work Condo. Located in the heart of the Roosevelt Arts District and the First Friday Art Walk, this is a great opportunity to start your own business.
The RooPho Realty office is located in another of the Artisan Village Live/Work Condos and speaking from experience, this is a great way to run your own business and have a store front in an up and coming area of Downtown Phoenix.

Tempe Urban Condos
There are many nice places to get a good buy on Urban condos in Tempe, among them is Northshore. This is a great community in a “U” shape so most of the condos have great views of the Tempe Townlake and pool area. Northshore has wonderful floor plans with balcony’s that are worth having and not those little balcony’s that you can only walk on. There is plenty of shopping just outside the front door and you’re only a mile from the Tempe Market Place. Not to mention, you’re just across the lake from ASU so it’s perfect for student and faculty alike.
Then there’s also Brigeview, a luxury high rise condos with all the extras. Located on the Southside of the lake and just a short walk to the ASU Sun Devil Stadium, this is one of Tempe’s newest and best communities. All the units have high-end finishes like granite counter tops and upgraded flooring. There’s an exercise room and a beautiful pool area. Walking distance to the Light Rail and Mill Ave not to mention, ASU.
