Urban Renewal and Condo Projects are important happenings in downtown Boise. Join me as I learn more about everything that is going on.

I've decided that I don't want to just spout off things that I already know a lot about and think that you need to know when it comes to Real Estate in Boise.  I want to actually research and learn aspects of the Boise housing market that I'm not as familiar with and have outside thoughts, knowledge and insight from all of you as well.  Downtown condos is one aspect of homes for sale in Boise that I could use a little sharpening up on.  So I am going to do a series on these projects including new construction, remodeled apartment buildings made into condos, and whatever else comes along as I learn more about them.  I also plan to go to some of the broker open houses to see what all the fuss is about if I have never seen them before. 

Cityside Lofts is the first project that drew me to this topic.  I have not seen the inside of any of these condos.  They are located off the connector on 13th street.  You can see them everytime you drive into downtown from the west.  According to the MLS prices range from the low $200's to the mid $500's.  Sizes range from 1 bed, 1 bath 785 sq. ft. units to 3 bed, 2 bath 2223 sq. ft. units in the first phase.  They are nicely upgraded with granite, hardwood, stone, contemporary fixtures and cabinets, stainless appliances, views of the city and foothills--everything an urban homeowner would want in their downtown condo.

For more information on Cityside Lofts go to their website at www.citysidelofts-boise.com.  If you would like to get inside any units give me a call.

The advertising makes me want one (and I'm a country girl at heart!).  Does anyone else have any feedback about these condos or any current owners have first hand insight? I welcome any contributions and don't worry, in my upcoming posts my research is not going to just consist of going to the MLS, reading the condo website and asking the general public what else you know about it.........that's just what you get this morning.
